Like I said, subsequent imports need to be more complicated.  That merge
wasn't in your original list of commands (and don't forget to "commit"
afterwards, too).  And after that merge, you still need to do ``admin
-b'' and ``update -A'' to handle any newly-added files.  If you were to
update to CVS 1.12 and use ImportNewFilesToVendorBranchOnly, you would
only need to do the merge.
