You have to "cvs add" new files to CVS before it'll know about their
existance and thus be able to report their imminent creation with the
likes of "cvs diff -N".

You can find a list of files that CVS doesn't know anything about with

        cvs -n -q update | awk '$1 == "?" {print $2}'

If you want to see a list of all the files that CVS doesn't know
anything about, _and_ include all of those it is ignoring:

        cvs -n -q update -I ! | awk '$1 == "?" {print $2}'
