According to Chuck Robey:

Because the standard way for CVS when it extracts a module named "foo" is
to put it inside a directory named "foo" hence the "contrib_softupdates".
You can change it upon checkout by specifying "-d bar" to put it into "bar".
When you extract the whole /usr/src tree you don't notice it because the
module there is named "src". See "CVSROOT/modules".
Use the -d dir option to create a directory called
dir for the working files, instead of using the
module name. Unless you also use -N, the paths
created under dir will be as short as possible.
