Yes - but the comment came more from a directory management view in CVS
(which pretty much doesn't exist, except for manual intervention).  The
only way I know how to clean up directories that should not longer be in
cvs is to manually move them where I want (which works very well).\

As above, and as you know, since no actions can be taken directly on a
directory, those MUST be done manually.
