I'm presuming here that you didn't overwrite your repository, but just 
your working directory/sandbox. (If you overwrote your repository the 
only solution is to restore it from your most recent backup.)

The 'cvs update' command prefixes all unknown files with '?', so one of 
this command will show you all the unknown files.

cvs -qn update | egrep '^\?'
