Note that this is an issue even if you *do* have write access.  (e.g.,
personally i prefer to work in anon-cvs trees for safety from
accidental commits.)

As noted previously, there are solutions.

I just coded up a script to fake Entries entries for added files,
since I need this somewhat often and always forget how to do it.  it's
attached.  (Under no circumstances should anybody e-mail me asking for
support.  No support or warranty of any kind is provided.  8-)
