For a new project, the easiest thing to do is probably to create an
empty directory structure, like this:
$ mkdir tc
$ mkdir tc/man
$ mkdir tc/testing
After that, you use the `import' command to create the
corresponding
(empty) directory structure inside the repository:
$ cd tc
$ cvs import -m "Created directory structure" yoyodyne/DIR yoyo
start
Then, use `add' to add files (and new directories) as they appear.
Check that the permissions CVS sets on the directories inside
`$CVSROOT' are reasonable.

I would reccomend just using RCS if you want that. CVS is a bit picky
sometimes and RCS offers most of the same features (CVS was built off
of RCS initially). Instead of storing in CVSROOT it just puts the
version files in ./RCS directories, and provides full merging, version
diffing, branching, etc. Don't throw away old tools just so you can
use trendy software when won't even need 10% of the features it
provides.
If you are convinced you need CVS I would reccomend reading the info
docs and googling for "The CVS Book". CVS is a bit of black magic and
you need to read up on how to use it before you can really get
anything out of it.

Nope, not thick. Just need to do a bit of reading :)
