But it is there, in the archive.

http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.15/cvs_18.html#SEC176

has the answer to your question: By default, CVS ignores some files, for
example "core".

You can override it with "cvs import -I ! ..."

To the maintainer(s) of the manual: Wouldn't it be good to add a hint to

http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.15/cvs_13.html#SEC104

as this really seems to be a FAQ, and it is not easily found if someone
does not read the *entire* Cederqvist.


Best regards,
