How did you know it was a directory? CVSWeb gives you an HTML page to
look at :-). The point is just that _how_ the data is stored in the
backend can be different from the specific way it is viewed from the
frontend. Yes, cvs uses directories to store modules, but the top
directory (the "cvs root") must have the directory CVSROOT in it and
that contains several files related to the repository. If you have
the cvs root on a local disk you can muck with the repository
directly, but it isn't a good idea unless you have a backup and/or you
know something about how cvs stores the data.
