[cvsnt] Re: Using CVS add instead of cvs import

[Siegfried Heintze]

I'm glad I asked!
Is it possible to populate a module one file at a time with the add command?
If so, how do I create an empty module called htdocs when the existing
htdocs directory has a lot of garbage in it?
I want to do this because I have a lot of garbage in the htdocs directory
and I only want some files (and some subdirectories, but not all) to be
under version control.

That can't be right...  checkout != import.

A quick check shows that this does *not* do anything like an import and 
the book is in error - in fact what it actually does is exactly what it 
looks like it does, checkout the root of the repository into a subdirectory.

Do not do this, things will get horribly confused.
