Adding files to a module

To add a new file to a module, follow these steps.

• You must have a working copy of the module. See section Getting the source.

• Create the new file inside your working copy of the module.

• Use `cvs add filename' to tell CVS that you want to version control the file.

• Use `cvs commit filename' to actually check in the file into the repository. Other developers cannot see the file until you perform this step.

• If the file contains binary data it might be necessary to change the default keyword substitution. See section Keyword substitution. See section admin examples.

You can also use the add command to add a new directory inside a module.

Unlike most other commands, the add command is not recursive. You cannot even type `cvs add foo/bar'! Instead, you have to

$ cd foo
$ cvs add bar

See section add--Add a new file/directory to the repository, for a more complete description of the add command.
