I ended up using the following.
find . |grep -v "{arch}" |xargs tla add-id

And then edited =tagging-method to include .cvsignore .

tla tree-lint did not work for me because there is no (or I can't find 
any, tla-1.3.3-2/Fedora Core 4) recurse option. as in it doesn't list 
files inside an untagged directory.... but when using as a substitute 
for "cvs import" I obviously have such directories ... so the only way I 
could think of was to repeatedly execute tla tree-lint -t |xargs tla 
add-id for about ... I dont know, roughly 12 times because it will go 
only one level deeper in the directory structure every time.

oh and tla import doesn't have any option to add files (which is one of 
the implied functions of cvs import, I guess I am comparing apples to 
windows :) ). can't it just have an option to add all the untagged 
source files? (ok chances are that this has probably been discussed here 
before and somehow elegance and simplicity prohibits this, ignore this 
if you are annoyed by the question)

Believe it or not but I have been using tla for years now, so I don't 
even have the newbie excuse (can still use the silly part I guess :) ). 
But I haven't done an import in more than a year I think. I thought I 
found some directions on this somewhere on the web at that time.. but 
yesterday I spent a lot of time on the wiki and couldn't find anything 
tailored for doing a cvs import equivalent ( the closest was ofcourse 
tla init-tree hello--dev--1.0 tla add file...  tla import -S).

Anyways, I think I am on my way to not having to worry about this for 
another 2 years.

Thank you.
