THen you want to use one of the following:
1) cvs import
This is the method most often described in the literature
2) THe Python macro Oliver Gliesen has published
This macro does an automation of the cvs add method and recurses through folders.
It also tries to detect the binary/text state of files.

Hi all!
Just a small additional hint:
I prefer to create a new module using WinCvs because
it (usually) automatically detects which files are binary.
This is important if you put projects of an IDE (e.g. Visual
Studio, Metrowerks, etc.) under CVS control, because
the master file (which contains the info about which files
belong to the project and their dependencies) is usually
of a proprietary (binary) format.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Steffen

Thema: Re: [cvsnt] Best document for newbie adding first proj to CVSNT
Just one bit:
Don't believe such crap as you have heard! The server is a server and
*nobody* should do any work on that. All operations can and should be
made from client workstations, including adding new modules to the
server repository.
There are at least two ways to do this:
1. The standard way (cvs import)
This you do from WinCvs Create/Import module...
It will grab all files in the selected directory plus recurse into all
subdirectories and add these files too.
2. The cvs add way
To use this you need to be in a valid sandbox. To create a top level
module you must check out the module . (that is a period) and set the
flag for no recursion. This creates a sandbox on the top level. Then
move your source directory tree to this sandbox and use cvs add on the
folders and then on the files inside. Rather tedious work but you have
full control.
You can also use Oliver's recursive add macro to ease the work.
