Most of the time, find's -exec option is slow and cumbersome.  Use
find with the -print, then pass the results to xargs to run the
command on a bunch of things at once.  For example:

     find <dirname> -print | xargs cvs add

If your find command doesn't print the directories before the files,
add the directories first.

     find <dirname> -type d -print | xargs cvs add
     find <dirname> -type f -print | xargs cvs add
