.cvsignore not ignoring directories with CVS subdirectories

We would like to be able to nest project directories.

Suppose we have a project testlib, and a project testapp, where testlib
makes use of testapp.

We would like to be able to checkout testlib as a subdirectory of testapp,
without making testlib a part of testapp.

\testapp
\testapp\source.c
\testapp\.cvsignore
\testapp\CVS
\testapp\CVS\Entries
\testapp\testlib
\testapp\testlib\source.c
\testapp\testlib\CVS
\testapp\testlib\CVS\Entries

Most particularly, we would like CVS actions on the two directories to be
separate.  When we make changes to testlib that we want to commit, we would
CD to testlib and to a commit.  When we make changes to testapp, we'd CD to
testapp, and do a commit.  But we don't want CVS actions done on testapp to
be automatically propogated to testlib.

.cvsignore does not accomplish this.  If we add testlib to .cvsignore, it
makes no difference.  Because testlib has CVS subdirectories, when cvs is
run at the testapp level, it processes the testlib directory tree,
regardless of the presence of testlib in .cvsignore.

What is the best way to handle this?
