try cvs -H import !!!!!!
cvs -H import
Usage: cvs import [-d] [-k subst] [-I ign] [-m msg] [-b branch]
[-W spec] repository vendor-tag release-tags...
-d Use the file's modification time as the time of import.
-k sub Set default RCS keyword substitution mode.
-I ign More files to ignore (! to reset).
-b bra Vendor branch id.
-m msg Log message.
-W spec Wrappers specification line.
(Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options)
-I ! => ignore yours local ".cvsignore" files
tips: a very useful option => -d
question: why -d option doesn't exist for "add" command ? ("cvs add files"
always use the current time for files, never the original "modification
time")
