It does seem odd, though, that, starting from a directory that is not under any version control, C-x v v in a file does offer to create a new... something... using RCS, or SCCS, Bzr, Git, etc., but not CVS. Since the process you outline above is very straightforward, it seems like just the kind of thing 'vc-next-action would do for you in such a case. I do have cvs installed, and it's not the end of the world if I have to do it manually, and I'm not trying to test VC, actually, just use it. I was just very surprised VC wasn't sort of doing the thing I expected, the way it has when I've used RCS.
