There isn't one.  'cvs co -c' and 'cvs co -s' will work if the modules
admin file is up to date but you shouldn't set up a modules file for this
reason.

The easiest way is to use 'ls' in the toplevel of the repo if you have
access.

You can try the following to get a complete file list, and you might be
able to deduce the project list from that:

     cvs -nq rdiff -s -D"Jan 1, 1970" . |awk '{print $2}'

There's also a wrapper script floating aroud that I'm told does what you
ask.  Search the mail archives.
