"cvs commit: nothing known about Test.java"

[Konrad Hernblad]

i am just starting with cvs and was trying to commit a file to its 
repository project using the following command:

cvs commit -m "added javadoc-style comments for constructor" Test.java

however, cvs replied with:

cvs commit: nothing known about `Test.java'
cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first!


however, when i did the commit without specifying the file name, it worked ok.

the Test.java file is a sub-sub-subdirectory from where i ran the cvs 
commit command.

should i have changed to the sub-sub-subdirectory first and then ran the 
commit?  in this case, will cvs automatically know which directory 
Test.java should be placed in?


or should i have specified:

cvs commit -m "added javadoc-style comments for constructor" 
subDir\subDir\subDir\Test.java

?


thanks very much.
