I've been wading through Simon's workque and might have the answer to the issue: "why do wikis, emacs & templates/DEFAULTS still appear in checkouts ?".
CVS does not support removal of directories unless you go and hand-modify the repository itself. And there are all kinds of potential gotchas there.

A way that might work from the command-line:
"To schedule files to be removed from the CVS repository, use the CVS remove command. The file can still be retrieved if you checkout a version which still contains it.
To remove a file from the branch you are working on: make sure there are no uncommitted changes; delete the file; run the cvs remove command; run the
commit command.
cvs status rm filename cvs remove filename cvs commit filename
Simply remove all the files from the directory. You do not remove directories from CVS. To prevent empty directories from being created, specify the -P option to update, checkout and export (as we have been doing all along).
