You have to use the -d option to update to create new directories
(either explicitly or by specifying it in your ~/.cvsrc file).

Unix-like systems do not distinguish between text and binary files,
which is why you haven't had any problems. Trying to access those files
from, for example, an MS Windows machine would likely be educational.
Also, if one of those files were to be updated in the repository and
also modified in your working directory, the resulting merge would
likely be unusable -- explicitly marking the files as binary would
prevent CVS wasting time trying to do a merge.
