Ah, yes.  You are correct.  An import of empty directories works in
:local: mode, but not in :*server: modes, so I would personally consider
that a bug.  I would guess that it would have something to do with
client_process_import_file() only being called for files and not
directories on a CVS client.  There should be an existing client/server
protocol call that simply creates the directories on the server...
Something like that is being used with `cvs add' I think, I can't recall
exactly, but it should be doable.

Patches gratefully accepted!
