I have just installed CVS. I have created a repository. I want to import the

will use 'Add' to add them later. What command will achive this?
Interestingly I'm doing a similar thing right now. Here's what I do to
avoid unnecessary copying. Note that I'm assuming here that your working
directory name has the same name you want the top-level directory in
your repository to have.
1. Create your top-level directory in the repository. (Some people call
this a project.) Doing it in an empty directory ensures that no
extraneous files or sub-directories get created
mkdir temp
cd temp
cvs -d<repos> import -m 'New project' project_name a b
2. Check out the (empty) project into your existing working directory.
This shouldn't cause any conflicts, since the repository directory
should be empty.
cd parent_of_project_name ; checkout -d<repos> checkout project_name
3. Create the directory hierarchy from your working directory. I'm
assuming here that working_directory is the same as top_level_dir.
cd project_name
find * -name CVS -prune -o -type d -exec cvs add {} \;
All the files in your working directory should now show up as unknown
('?'). You can 'cvs add' them (or not) when you are ready to commit them.
