Here is a quick way to add directories and subdirectories to an existing CVS repository
cvs add top_level_directory
find top_level_directory -type d -print | xargs cvs add
find top_level_directory -name CVS -prune -o -type f -print | xargs cvs add
The instruction below adds the top-level called top_level_directory directory to the CVS repository
cvs add top_level_directory
The instruction below finds all subdirectories under top_level_directory and issues a cvs add command to subdirectories that are found
find <folder_name> -type d -print | xargs cvs add
The instruction below finds all files not including CVS files and issues a cvs add command
find <folder_name> -name CVS -prune -o -type f -print | xargs cvs add
