[m-dev.] more on cvs and dirs

Two things..

first: CVS won't let me add a subdir to a dir I just `cvs add'ed.
cvs add: cannot mkdir /mercury/extras/curses/sample: No such file or directory

second: I can't diff anything in there, either
cvs diff: failed to create lock directory in repository
`/mercury/extras/curses': No such file or directory
cvs diff: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/mercury/extras/curses'
cvs [diff aborted]: read lock failed - giving up


I followed what zoltan said earlier today:
	* In the extras dir, I did `cvs add curses'
	* then in the curses dir, I did a cvs add for each file
	  - when trying to cvs add the "sample" subdir, I got the above
	    error

I have `diff -u -N' in my .cvsrc file, so it shouldn't have a problem with
new files...
