Or, perhaps, since this is a written communications tool, you must be explicit
with what you intend to say. It is only at this post that I think I understand
what you say. Let me summarize to be sure:
1. All subdirectories within a CVS-managed subdirectory are also CVS-managed.
2. Not all commands treat all CVS-managed directories nicely depending on
whether or not they contain the CVS admin subdirectory. So, CVS commands are
inconsistent with regards to how they treat directories with/without CVS admin
subdirectories.
