Recursively remove all files in a CVS directory

This command is much faster than the alternatives, because it uses one cvs command to remove everything, instead of doing a separate cvs command for each individual file. The '-f' option removes the file from disk as well as from CVS. Note that those are backticks in the command (under the tilde key), not single quotes. Show Sample Output
This is sample output - yours may be different.
```
cvs remove: scheduling `./file1.txt' for removal
cvs remove: scheduling `./somedir/file2.txt' for removal
```

cvs remove -f `find . -type f ! -path \*CVS\*`
