[Same number of commands, and some are an abuse of the interface, and

May cause an error in a future version of cvs as libftp already
exists.  cvs add is not the right operation :-(.  cvs resoponds
with an erronious message:
gndrsh# cvs add libftp
cvs add: nothing known about libftp
gndrsh# mkdir !$
mkdir libftp
gndrsh# cvs add !$
cvs add libftp
Directory /home/ncvs/src/lib/libftp added to the repository
gndrsh# ls /home/ncvs/src/l^D       
lib/     libexec/ lkm/     
gndrsh# ls /home/ncvs/src/lib/libftp 
Attic   doc     lib     utils
gndrsh# ls
CVS             Makefile        Makefile.inc    libftp

> cd libftp
> cvs update

Only works becuase add above and that should be cvs update -P, and
you obviosly did not test this, it does NOT work! :
gndrsh# cd libftp
gndrsh# ls
CVS
gndrsh# cvs update -P
cvs update: Updating .
gndrsh# cvs update
cvs update: Updating .
gndrsh# 

> rm *

Does not handle deep branches, my comments above where correct, ``rm the
files'', rm * does not necessarily do what you wanted.

> cvs remove

You left off the all import -R option.

> cd ..
> cvs ci
ci is an alias, proper command is cvs commit.

> cd ..
> cvs release -dQ lib
