You can never remove directories from a CVS repository, whether it
does the crazy gyrations that cvs.zope.org does or not. :-)

The best you can do is clear all files from ZServer, and then
checkouts with the -P option (and I believe exports as well?  I may
be wrong) will create, try to populate, fail, then remove the
directory.
