[cvsnt] New to cvs and having trouble importing

[Nick Duane]

I've read over the docs and did some searching but still can't seem to find 
an answer to my problem.  I'm sure I'm just doing something wrong, but I 
have no idea what that something is.  I'm running both the server and client 
on my machine.  I have setup a repository called Group1.  My thinking is 
that I would have one repository per development group.  Then within the 
repository the development groups could create a module for each of their 
projects.  We're planning to move from vss to CVS.  I figured the best way 
to move over to CVS would be to get the latest source from vss into a 
working directory and then import that into CVS.  However, I want to change 
the structure a bit and I also don't need all the code in my working 
directory.  So I figured I would start small and see if I could create a 
small directory structure under the Group1 repository.  I created a 
directory called c:\data\temp\cvsinit.  Under this directory I created two 
other directories called src and 3rdParty.  I then did the following:

cd \data\temp\cvsinit
import -d :sspi:redbonemobile:/Group1 import ???

Well as you can see my first question came when I needed to supply the 
repository to the import command.  What do you specify when creating the 
root?  After reading the docs I see that if the repository you specify does 
not exist then CVS will create it.  So I then did:

import -d :sspi:redbonemobile:/Group1 import -m "Proj1" Proj1 -n

This created my Proj1 directory.  Now what I wanted to do was to import the 
directory structure from the current directory I was in.  So I did:

import -d :sspi:redbonemobile:/Group1 import -m "Proj1" Proj1 -n

As far as I can tell this didn't do anything.  I then added the trace flags 
and below is the output:

No conflicts created by this import

I can see that it did traverse into those sub directories, but as I said I 
don't see them created in the repository.

Thanks,
Nick
