A suggestion (if I am understanding you correctly):

Don't check in your entire wwwroot as one module.  Seperate out the 
different directories as different modules.  Say you have:

./htdocs/foo
./htdocs/bar

Have a "foo" and a "bar" module in CVS, not just "htdocs".  Then after you 
have imported the directories, delete the ones out of htdocs, then do a 
"cvs co foo" and "cvs co bar" directly from ./htdocs, and this will put 
these CVS working directories directly into your production 
environment.  Then when you need to update them just do a "cvs update" from 
within ./htdocs/foo and ./htdocs/bar.  There shouldn't be any need to do 
any manual copying.  The whole point of CVS is avoid stuff like that, at 
least that is my understanding.

And since you have separated your directories out into different modules 
there will be no need to worry about overwriting or altering non-version 
controlled directories (such as your mrtg dir) since you never entered them 
into the CVS repository to begin with.

Sorry if I'm still not getting it... :)
