My find will operate on directories with the above command. I am not
sure why you have trouble.

To use xargs with the above command you would probably need to specifiy
-n1. IIRC, a single command `cvs add dir dir/file dir/file2' will fail
for the files since dir was not a cvs controlled directory when the
command was first run, whereas `cvs add dir; cvs add dir/file; cvs add
dir/file2' will work just fine.

With a directory tree with no files, the find command above should
produce exactly the same result as cvs import and vice versa.
