Why would you want to do that? There's nothing you can do with import that you can't do with add, commit, tag, etc.

It really sounds a strange question. And it is not only I that want this feature. However, I'll try to name some reasons:

1) To avoid misuse. I once encountered a developer just trying to use
cvs and importing an existing module. As CVS administrator I do not like
it at all. Of course he should not do it, but it is better to prevent it
for ever than to educate everyone, esp. when I am not his boss.

2) To restrict the creation of modules (and initial files therein).
Maybe I am ignorant, but import is the only way I know to create modules
on the CVS server. And I am sure none of my colleagues knows of yet
another way. I never know how to use "cvs add" to do that as you
implied. Nor have I read any CVS books about it.

Best regards,
