Adding Directories
------------------

Unlike adding a file, adding a new directory is done in one step;
there's no need to do a commit afterwards:

     floss$ mkdir c-subdir
     floss$ cvs add c-subdir
     Directory /usr/local/cvs/myproj/c-subdir added to the repository
     floss$

If you look inside the new directory in the working copy, you'll see
that a CVS subdirectory was created automatically by add:

     floss$ ls c-subdir
     CVS/
     floss$ ls c-subdir/CVS
     Entries     Repository  Root
     floss$

Now you can add files (or new directories) inside it, as with any other
working copy directory.
