### Creating a directory tree from scratch

For a new project, the easiest thing to do is probably to create an empty directory structure, like this:

    $ mkdir tc
    $ mkdir tc/man
    $ mkdir tc/testing

After that, you use the `import` command to create the corresponding (empty) directory structure inside the repository:

    $ cd tc
    $ cvs import -m "Created directory structure" yoyodyne/dir yoyo start

Then, use `add` to add files (and new directories) as they appear.

Check that the permissions CVS sets on the directories inside ``$CVSROOT'` are reasonable.
