Maybe I've already pointed this out; can't remember, so I'll do it now:

This is the only reason not to use xargs. If you have GNU
findutils installed, though, you can use their xargs safely, as
follows:
$ cd $WORKINGDIR
$ find . \( -type d -name "CVS" -prune \) -o \( -type d -print0 \) | xargs -0 cvs
add 2>/dev/null
$ find . \( -type d -name "CVS" -prune \) -o \( -type f -print0 \) | xargs -0 cvs
add 2>/dev/null
"find -print0" and "xargs -0" say to delimit the pathnames with
'\0' instead of '\n', and to take all other characters literally;
pathnames with funky characters are thus handled correctly.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea.
