These commands should do it, issued from any directory (note that this
assumes the $CVSROOT variable is set - if not, then in the co command
use the global -d option, `cvs -d XXX co -l .`

mkdir tmp
cd tmp
cvs co -l .
mkdir xyz
cvs add xyz
cd ..
rm -rf tmp

An alternative would be to create an entry in CVSROOT/modules.
