cvs checkout -d top .
cd top
mkdir new-top-level-directory
cvs add new-top-level-directory
cd new-top-level-directory
cp -pr /place/with/files/I/want/to/add .

At this point you can choose to add whatever you
wish. If you want any of the subdirectories added,
you will first need to add them to the repository
something like this:

  find . -name CVS -prune -o -type d --exec cvs add {} \;

or you could do it individually.

Now you can do 'cvs add' operations on whatever
files you wish.

        Good luck,
