Just the files in the current directory (ignore -R), but that's because
options are processed in order so the -R enables recursion (which it
already is by default) and then the following -f disables it.  If you
put the -R *after* the -f:

        cvs commit -f -R -m "production deployed on 19 Dec 2007" *

then it will work recursively like you want (-f disables recursion then
-R enables it again).
