        It is, but that's OK.

        Yes, imports always go to the main branch, and importing is generally 
intended for putting imported distributions (you use gcc on your project, so 
you untar and import the sources so that you can rebuild the project five years 
from now).  You don't want import here.  Use `cvs add` on each directory and 
file that you want CVS to track, then `cvs commit` the files to get your 
versions of the files into the repository.
