The "magic" trick to get cscvs to work correctly in the presence of
numerous adds and removes:

  cvs up -r1.1

Basically, that checks out the first revision of everything. That yields
a pretty useless tree because different directories belong to different
changesets, but it has all the CVS metada required for cscvs to work
happily.
