Sure it will. You just need to tell it to.
trout:~ % cvs -H update
Usage: cvs update [-APdflRp] [-k kopt] [-r rev|-D date] [-j rev]
[-I ign] [-W spec] [files...]
-A Reset any sticky tags/date/kopts.
-P Prune empty directories.
-d Build directories, like checkout does.
....
Note '-d', which will allow it to 'build' new directories. Also note
'-P', which causes it to remove directories that become emtpy as they
occur. Why this isn't the default behavior has been subject to much
discussion on the CVS mailing lists. :(
