When I do "cvs -n update" command I get a long list of files that are modified, missing or new. In the output, I want to see only new files, it means I want to see lines starting with "?". Then I will do "cvs add file_name" and add the new files to repository. My project is in Linux environment. Is there a special command to get that output on screen?

1*CVS* is really an obsolete versioning system. Did you consider using (and migrating to) `git` or at least to `svn` (Subversion)?? – Basile Starynkevitch Jul 14 '12 at 19:14

I don't think cvs has support for this, I usually use grep:
cvs -qn update | grep '^\?'

Those are two separate options, `-q` means "be quiet" and avoids showing a lot of progress information, `-n` is the dry run option. – Thor Jul 14 '12 at 10:23
