I don't understand -- it sounds like you're doing the "cvs update" in
the repository instead of in a working directory. If not, how did you
checkout dir1, dir2, and dir3? When doing things like update, CVS
doesn't really pay any attention to the directory structure of the
working directory or the repository, it uses the contents of the CVS
subdirectory in each working directory to figure out what repository
directory it corresponds to and what subdirectories it has that need to
be processed.
