When you add a file it is added only on the branch which you are working on (see section Branching and merging). You can later merge the additions to another branch if you want (see section Merging can add or remove files).
That suggests that you can add files to a branch, but in quick skim I saw no examples. If I get some time, I'll experiment ... cheers, drl

Hi.
I installed cvs in a VM and wrote this script:

As you can see just above, the new files were added to the branch. I recall getting an error message similar to the one you posted, but I could not elicit it just now. I did not try to merge the branch into main.
This is more of an academic question for me. We used cvs at a place I worked and one person in our group was responsible for merging branches back into main for each end-of-development-phase. It was always a struggle, often taking days to get everything right.
I think you are wise to stay away from branches unless you absolutely need to deal with them. If you do need them, then you can experiment until you are comfortable.
