Following the steps on http://drupal.org/node/100748 and http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs/quickstart#add I am unable to add my new module to contributions/modules/feedbacktab (http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/feedbacktab/). Here is my project page; http://drupal.org/project/feedbacktab

And the bash commands demonstrating the error "cvs add: nothing known about `feedbacktab'"

cvs add: nothing known about `feedbacktab'

I can not find any further resources to help me solve this issue, and think it must be something out of my control.

Thanks very much for your help! :)

I had the same problem. In my case, I simply changed the directory from were I was executing the command, and all worked again.
To be clearer, before I executed the commands from the parent directory of contributions, then I executed them from that directory.

I take your directory didn't get damaged, and the CVS directory is still on its place.
