Those are equivalent operations as far as I can tell; so do either.

That's what I did with Xlib; what cvs add gives you is the ability to go 
back to the old build system easily, but drops the history.  I thought the 
per-file history more important than the ability to recover the imake 
build system, so I moved the ,v files instead.   CVS sucks.
