Importing another CVS project [x2]

[Paul D. Smith]

So, does no response mean "you can't do it"? :(

> So, I have a CVS archive, and I want to start making local
> modifications.  What I want to do is check out a workspace of the
> original code (which I've already done).  I only have anon pserver
> access, I can't get the _actual_ repository, only a workspace copy.
> That's fine; I only want to pull snapshots every so often into my copy
> anyway.
>
> Then, I want to create a new module using this workspace as the initial
> code, on a vendor branch.

> No problem, right?

> Here's the trick: there are a large number of binary files in the
> workspace, and I need the -kb flag on those files to be accurately
> entered into my copy.

> Obviously the info I need is right there, in my CVS/Entries file.  But I
