I don't think you fully grasp the scenario that akki has run into.
Either that, or you do not fully grasp how CVS works.

The problem is, someone has checked out a module. Then, someone removed
directories *from within the repository* - on the server, in other
words. Akki wants to know if 'cvs update' will remove the workspace
directories. It won't, no matter what combination of options you use.
