Nevertheless, it used to be a rule that new subsystems should be
brought into the repository by means of "cvs import" rather than "cvs
add".  I personally was scolded once for using "cvs add" in this
situation.  I've never seen any discussion about changing that policy.
I don't really care what the policy becomes, but it's certainly not
established that "cvs add" is the answer.
