It shouldn't be fast (at least, it wasn't for me...). From hte log it looks 
like it is incomplete.

We probably need to "cvs add" this directory (it was probably created after 
the May 3rd backup).

That's fine. It means that the file doesn't exist in the repository (you added 
it after the backup) but does exist on your developer machine. These files 
should be "cvs add"ed back and committed.

That's odd. When I ran "cvs status" at the top-level, it seemed to examine 
everything. Stupid idea: try again, after "cvs add"'ing back the directories 
where it can't get a dir lock?
