So then, let us rephrase the question:

How do you go about setting up an `empty' repository?

All I want is to put .emacs, .gnus etc under CVS now that I am more
confident using it. And do this without importing the entire ${HOME}
directory structure. A work around I have thought is to ln -s these files
to others in a config/ But that will not fix the problem when in
another directory I want to CVS just one file in that directory?

Am I being really thick or something, educate me and help the others,
please.
