To use a subdirectory you should have traverse anyway - that's the purpose of the traverse permissions.

You've always needed the permissions as CVS needs to know the correct case for all the directories in its path. The warning (it's not an error) was added because people were getting strange results because of the lack of permissions - warning them up front lets them solve it without having to deal with those problems.
