I'm not sure what you're getting at by that.  Yes, "cvs add emtpy-dir"
will not fail.  However it won't do *anything* either.  It's exactly
equivalent to "cvs add dir-with-only-ignored-files".

Now I'm sure I don't know what you're getting at....

"cvs add" only adds un-ignored or explicitly specified files.  "cvs ci"
only commits ``changes''.
