Yeah, it is.  CVS never deletes directories - when you delete
an entire tree, all the files in there are moved into the relevant
Attic/ directories.

actually "empty" on that branch.

The only real way to solve this is by using a database to
pre-process the CVS repository to make up for some of CVS's
shortcomings (to handle searching, better views, per-commit revs).
