I ran into a problem while trying to sync an initial import patch from
darcs into CVS.  It looks like the subdirectory 't' was added before the
parent directory 'MAPI2Message', so the 'cvs add' failed:

Changeset CATools::Transform::MAPI2Message - initial import:

  darcs pull --all --patches="CATools::Transform::MAPI2Message - initial 
import" .. [Ok]
  darcs changes --last=1 --xml-output --summ 
.............................................. [Ok]
  cvs -q add "Transform/MAPI2Message/t" cvs add: in directory 
`Transform/MAPI2Message':
  cvs [add aborted]: there is no version here; do `cvs checkout' first [Error 
256]
  cvs -q add "Transform/MAPI2Message" ? Transform/MAPI2Message/Changes
  ? Transform/MAPI2Message/MANIFEST
  ? Transform/MAPI2Message/MAPI2Message.pm
  ? Transform/MAPI2Message/META.yml
  ? Transform/MAPI2Message/Makefile.PL
  ? Transform/MAPI2Message/t
  Directory /home/sde/cvsrep/CATools/Transform/MAPI2Message added to the 
repository [Ok]
  cvs -q add "Transform/MAPI2Message/Changes" cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to 
add this file permanently
   [Ok]
  cvs -q add "Transform/MAPI2Message/MANIFEST" cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to 
add this file permanently
   [Ok]
  cvs -q add "Transform/MAPI2Message/MAPI2Message.pm" cvs server: use 'cvs 
commit' to add this file permanently
   [Ok]
  cvs -q add "Transform/MAPI2Message/META.yml" cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to 
add this file permanently
   [Ok]
  cvs -q add "Transform/MAPI2Message/Makefile.PL" cvs server: use 'cvs commit' 
to add this file permanently
   [Ok]
  cvs -q add "Transform/MAPI2Message/t/agency.t" cvs add: cannot open 
CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory
  cvs [add aborted]: no repository
   [Error 256]

How do I fix CVS, so that my 't' subdirectory and files are added?  I
want for tailor to not be confused about the commit that did not come
from itself.  It would be nicest to add the files as if they had been
added with the other 'initial import' files.

Can I just 'cvs add' all of them, and then 'cvs commit'?  How does
tailor specify the date, so that I can do that, too?
