Correct.  Import puts things onto a vendor branch, which is special.  In
particular, things on vendor branches are also on the trunk.

Exactly.  In your case, you could have done (in foo):

        cvs add mynewdir mynewdir/*
        cvs ci -m'add mynewdir and files'

(Although you have to be a bit careful, don't use "add *" unless you
really want to add *all* the files.)
