If D4 is to be a new top-level module, then you would need to
checkout the top first and create it. Otherwise, just creating
D4 in the place where you have checked out your repository module
should do the job for you...

  cvs checkout -l -d top .
  cd top
  mkdir D4
  cvs add D4
  cd D4
  echo 'here is the contents of the file.' > F1
  cvs add F1
  cvs commit

Well, first you would need to get the list of
files and then extract the directory names from
that list. CVS does not actually control
directories.

If you have cvs 1.12.x, then

  cvs rls -R . | grep ':$'

otherwise

  cvs rlog -R . | grep '^cvs rlog:' | awk '{print $NF}'

should do the job for you.

   cvs -Q rls -R D2
or
   cvs -Q rlog -R D2 | sed 's/,v$//'

cvs checkout D2/F2

What seems to be the problem with the help text?
