I think we're in violent agreement here, for once. That is in fact
exactly the way my proposal should be interpreted.

"dir/CVS" will be created and populated and "file" will be marked as
"added", just as the user requests.

Once again CVS admin directories will be created where necessary and the
file specified will be marked as "added", just as the user requests
(i.e. dir/CVS *and* dir1/CVS will be created).
