If you do not want write mode, then use

    umask 077
    cvs -r checkout module

This means that the only files that will have execute bits will be those
that have them in the repository. Files will be read-only and directories
will be "rwx" mode.

In all cases, there will be no 'group' or 'other' permissions on the
files and directories you have checked out of the repository.

Your initial problem statement seemed to indicate that this was all you
needed. If you need something else, you need to give examples of what
fails to be satisfied by this method.
