Neither -- it means you haven't completed the import and merge process.

You always have to merge after importing, even if CVS doesn't tell you
to.  When you do the merge:

        cvs checkout -jPREV_REL -jCUR_REL module

(note that you *MUST* use the actual release tags for this to work as
opposed to using "branch:yesterday" or any similar schemes), CVS will
mark any deleted files for removal; committing the merge completes the
process.
