I actually (accidentally) used Import against a checked-out CVS source to
import to a different repository once, and it worked like a charm--it
correctly ignored all CVS directories for me, so step 3 (I believe) is
optional.

I would make sure I have a ZIP or other form of backup on all these local
files before proceeding also, naturally.

I'm using (in this case) CVSNT 2.0.1a client and CVS 1.11.2 server.  I need
to update! :)

Hope this helps.

1. Install CVSNT on a PC in your control
2. Create a repository for your projects
3. Traverse your local copy dir tree and delete all CVS subdirs
4. CVS import the old project sources to your new CVS server
5. Check out a project copy using your favourite protocol (sspi)
6. Continue developing.

Import is used to get external sources into CVS version control and it
seems appropriate to use that here....
