Assuming you've done this (using the example from the Per Cederqvist et al manual):

   cvs import -m "Import of FSF v. 0.04" fsf/wdiff FSF_DIST WDIFF_0_04

What's the difference between later doing this :

   cvs import -m "Import of FSF v. 0.05" fsf/wdiff FSF_DIST WDIFF_0_05

compared to doing a checkout, untaring (or copying or whatever) into the checked out 
copy and then doing a commit ?

What are the pros and cons of each ?

One would think that the later gives you finer grained control because for example you 
could manually specify for each file whether to save it as binary etc. However, is 
this how it works in practice ? Also, does the former method do the equivalent of a 
'cvs remove' for files that are no longer in the third-party release ?

Cheers,

Duncan Higgins.
