But cvs certainly knows "what it is" if it's a subdirectory subject to
creation and pruning; that means the subdirectory exists in the
repository.

I doubt that cvs would complain about a pre-existing subdirectory of
this type either, because that would result in an unreasonable amount of
chatter when adding or removing the -P option.
