Ok, so you checked out a tree from a public CVS server and you want
to import that locally. You don't have to remove the CVS/
subdirectories. See below.

Because 'core' is in the default ignore list. I usually reset the
ignore list to just 'CVS', like this,
cvs import -I! -ICVS <path> VENDOR <release-tag>
and then check out a fresh sandbox somewhere else.
You can keep the original external sandbox untouched; that way, you
can update it from the public CVS server and reimport any deltas to
your internal server.
