Well sure, but then when someone checks in a change that involves renaming or adding a subdirectory somewhere, your tree is silently broken without any warning or indication, and you have to track it down. This can be a lot of head scratching and cursing until you figure out that cvs was too dumb to add the directory to your repository. I prefer to always use cvs up -dP outside of toplevel, which I update with cvs up -lP.
