|| Yes the current *BROKEN* implementation of 'cvs add' requires that users
|| think about how directories are manged.
Normal software development requires that users think about
directories. They do. They manage the direcotires in their work
area and tell cvs; cvs manages directories in the repository to match
(after the current required connection goes away this will happen at
commit time, but it will still happen).
CVS manages directories; it does not just deal with disorganized
files.

Rather, to discuss the coarser points of the proposal, that are above
and beyond what is necessary to correct the bug.
