You'll find more on info-cvs at gnu.org:

To be honest, I don't know if this would work or not.  (You do need to
fix up your quoting, though.)

If I were trying to do this, I'd use $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvswrappers to set
*.mid, *.jpg, and *.gif to binary, and then just use
    cvs import -m "transfer files from OS/2" cfi pelliott start
See the `Wrappers' node of the CVS info page for more information.
