Brian - You can indeed hack the repository to fix problems like this. Just be
sure to practice on a copy of the repository first, then make a backup copy of
the repository before hacking any significant changes into the actual
repository. The important thing too remember is hacked changes are totally out
of CVS's control, are permanent, and cannot be undone if you make a mistake or
change your mind later. In the situation you describe, directly hacking the
respository (after backing it up!!!) may be the right move. For more normal
situations, it's usually better to use the built-in CVS commands (i.e. cvs
remove, cvs add, etc).

Subject: Repository cleanup
When we placed our code under CVS, there were a number of files and directories
imported which we really didn't want. We don't ever want to be able to recover
them, so is it OK just to remove the offending directories directly from the
repository?
TIA,
