Well, I used CVS long time ago, but, as a I said, "cvs release" should remove only the files
under revision control, leaving untouched the others.
There's no Subversion equivalent command and the only workaround is a script that parses a "svn status"
removes all the entries but those with "?", the .svn directories and directories left empty at the
end of the process.
