That's because CVS only records the status of files; it doesn't record the status of directories anywhere. CVS simply can't distinguish between a directory that has been deleted vs. a directory that doesn't happen to contain any files. If you use the -P workaround, then you are basically asking CVS to assume that your project doesn't have any empty directories, and therefore if a directory doesn't contain any files at a particular point in the history then the directory itself should be considered non-existent. Please don't delete the directory from your repository without thinking long and hard about the fact that this will irretrievably erase the history of any files that were ever located in the directory.
