You're right, it doesn't seem to:

tdb at inferno [~/test] % find foo -name CVS -prune -o -type f -print
foo/test
foo/bar/test
tdb at inferno [~/test] % 

tdb at infnrno [~/test] % cvs add `find foo -name CVS -prune -o -type f -print`
cvs add: in directory foo:
cvs [add aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first
tdb at inferno [~/test] % 

However, if you do this it does:

tdb at inferno [~/test] % cvs add `find foo -name CVS -prune -o -type d -print`
Directory /tmp/cvsroot/test/foo added to the repository
Directory /tmp/cvsroot/test/foo/bar added to the repository
tdb at inferno [~/test] % cvs add `find foo -name CVS -prune -o -type f -print`
cvs add: scheduling file `foo/test' for addition
cvs add: scheduling file `foo/bar/test' for addition
cvs add: use 'cvs commit' to add these files permanently
tdb at inferno [~/test] % 

Which I guess makes sense because you need to add the directories first.

HTH,
Tim.
