Here's one.  The project had a ton of directories for previous prototypes. New 
developers really just needed a few folders.  So, we configured the src 
module for developers to grab only the necessary folders.  The second set of 
modules was for me.  In general, my files are lower case and my directories 
are initial capital with as few collisions on the first letter of a directory 
as possible.  It makes tab completion to deep directories very fast (one 
letter and a tab per level).  :-)

I'm not sure what you mean by "searchable."

By the way, I really liked http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/.  I bought a copy of 
the second edition.  Good stuff.
