Your merge probably went fine. CVS does not really know or care about
directories except as containers for controlled items, or components on
a path to some controlled item. A controlled item is a file, never a
directory. Empty directories tend to disappear from your workspace, for
instance with the idiomatic use of "cvs update -P".
Put a dummy file named ".PRECIOUS" or something into the otherwise empty
directory to make it stay in your workspace.
Or teach your build system to create empty directories as required.
