cvs co -r 2.7 -d bar foo path/to/foo
to create bar/foo instead of path/to/foo...
At least this removes the depth of the tree.
And yes, your approach sounds very dangerous and
single-developer-centric, in other words, not at all conducive to
multiple developers working on a project, as it sounds like such a
situation (and that's a situation for which CVS was most directly
designed) would result in utter chaos with no hope of restoration
without reference to a backup...
