It's the only possible default behaviour.  CVS supports modules, so
that it's possible to check out a subset of a tree, and this is very
useful.  When you do "cvs update", it does not check out every module,
just the directories you already checked out.

This is not sane bahavior in general, just for trees that don't have
many modules.
