Hrm ... AFAIK, that can't be done through a simple cvs command ... though
I think you can do it like this (bourne shell):

mv dir-that-shouldnt-be-in-cvs /tmp
cvs remove dir-that-shouldnt-be-in-cvs
cvs commit -m "This doesn't belong in cvs" dir-that-shouldnt-be-in-cvs
mv /tmp/dir-that-shoudlnt-be-in-cvs .
find dir-that-shouldnt-be-in-cvs -path '*/CVS' -type d -exec rm -rf '{}' ';'

Eventually, use "cvs export" to make a clean copy of the dir you want to be
removed from CVS.

Be aware that "cvs remove" doesn't purge the old version of the files from
the repository.  A crude removal of the directory from the CVS repository
might also be possible, but not recommended.
