[cvsnt] Import questions

[Lawson.Reed]

Well, of course. Import JUST the directory and add all the rest.
Why didn't I think of that. Thanks.

We are using WinCVS which likes to grab EVERYTHING when you import.
So I guess, you have to create an empty directory, use import
then copy everything there and use "add" from there.

What about that other question. Anybody? :-)

Thanks.
