This conflicts with another opinion I found on usenet (link below):

        I think almost EVERYONE gets bit by this at first.  The CVS
        mantra is "import, delete, checkout".  You need to import
        your sources then check them out to a different location
        before you can really get to work with CVS.  That's the easy
        way.


He also suggests an alternate:

        Another way to do it is to create the top level dir that will
        hold your sources inside the CVS repository, check out that
        "empty" project, copy your source tree to your checked out
        dir and then add everything from there.  I've done it both
        ways and import is MUCH easier.

So what is the prefered method of creating a new project given you are *NOT*
third party code?
