if you have write access to the repository from your CVS checkout
area, just 'cvs add' the files -- nothing will happen until you
commit.

Otherwise, if you drop a line into your CVS entries file like:

/FILE_NAME_GOES_HERE/0/dummy timestamp//

for each added file, CVS will consider them added and they'll be
included in 'cvs diff -N' output.

(Yes, "yuck."  8-)
