I think you mean that you have RCS files -- the kind that are
usually called foo,v -- but yours don't have the suffix; and that
you've manually moved them into the repository.  Is this correct?
If so...

I wouldn't expect CVS to recognize those files.  CVS doesn't have
an option corresponding to RCS's -x, let alone with that
spelling.  Nor does CVS honour RCSINIT.

Why do you need the revision files not to have ",v" suffixes?
