CVS Question: not including additional folder

I recently submitted my first Drupal module, an API for displaying table data unrelated to nodes (where Views can't be used):
http://drupal.org/project/dataview

I decided to add an example into the project, so other developers could see how to implement the API, so I created an additional module (called filesview), and put the module's folder into a folder called example in the folder for the main project.

I then logged into my CVS account, navigated to the project folder and did the following:

cvs add example
cvs add example/*
cvs commit -m "[message about changes]"

It seemed like it stepped through all the contents of the filesview folder, but when I download the updated project archive, it doesn't have the additional examples folder.

Any thoughts on what I need to do to get this working properly?
