You'll probably want to go over the section on importing in the
CVS reference manual several times; it's not entirely clear on the
first go. Also, the CVS FAQ, despite no longer being maintained,
has good information on this.

Essentially, it works like this:

1. sup into your local tree, `sup'.

2. Checkout a copy of your last import from the sup tree into
`checkout'.

3. Now we figure out which files to delete:

	cd sup/src
	find . -print | sort >/tmp/tree.new
	cd checkout/src
	find . -print | egrep -v '/CVS$|/CVS/' | sort >/tmp/tree.old
	comm -23 /tmp/tree.old /tmp/tree.new >/tmp/delete
	xargs rm </tmp/delete
	xargs cvs -q remove </tmp/delete
	cvs -q update -m "new version pre-import"

4. Now you can go into your sup tree and do an import.

I had to read both the documentation and the FAQ a couple of times
and do some practice runs on small trees I'd constructed myself
before I got the hang of this.
