IIRC you can't. Using cvs-update in place of cvs-examine will not suffer
from this problem, but of course it's not the same operation and you may not
want to cvs-update. The problem is in the output of the CVS process which
makes it impossibly hard for PCL-CVS to figure out whether the directory
that CVS says needs update is actually a pruned directory or not.
Actually, now that I think about it again, I did add a trick to allow you to
solve this problem: add the offending directories to your .cvsignore file
(no glob pattern and with a terminating /). Not sure whether it's in
Emacs-21.4 but it's definitely in Emacs-CVS.
