Step 5) can eliminate the 'find' - just issue the 'cvs commit' command.

Well, that depends. What files are missing? Are the missing files listed in
any .cvsignore files? Do the missing files have extensions that are, by
default, ignored (*.o, *.a, etc. - see
https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.20/cvs_18.html#SEC180 for a
complete list)?
