It does something, but I don't know what, exactly.  Here's what happened when 
tried cvs_import on a blank database and a fresh working directory.

[~]$ pushd
/srv/monotone ~
[monotone]$ rm a.db
[monotone]$ monotone db init --db=a.db
[monotone]$ monotone --db=a.db read <gjditchfield.pubkey
monotone: read 1 packet
[monotone]$ monotone --db=a.db read <gjditchfield.privkey
monotone: read 1 packet
[monotone]$ pushd
~ /srv/monotone
[~]$ rm -rf MT
[~]$ monotone --db=/srv/monotone/a.db --branch=ca.mb.ditchfield.home.gjditchf 
setup ~
[~]$ ls cv
abstract  cv.bib    cvletter.tex  cv.tex,v  Makefile
cv11.sty  cv.bib,v  cv.sty        letters/
[~]$ monotone cvs_import --branch=ca.mb.ditchfield.home.gjditchf cv
enter passphrase for key ID address@hidden:
monotone: branches | versions
monotone:        0 |        15 |         1 |       15
monotone: verifying new revisions (this may take a while)
monotone: branches | manifests | revisions | versions
monotone:        0 |        15 |        15 |       15

(That looks sensible.  cv.tex,v contains 13 revisions, and cv.bib,v contains 
two.  But where are they?  )

[~]$ monotone status cv/cv.tex
monotone: misuse: unknown path 'cv/cv.tex'
[~]$ monotone commit
monotone: misuse: no changes to commit
[~]$ monotone log
[~]$ monotone list known

(I was expecting cvs_import to act like adding the revisions, and possibly 
automatically committing.)

[~]$ monotone add t.txt
monotone: adding t.txt to working copy add set
[~]$ monotone log
[~]$ monotone list known
t.txt
[~]$ monotone status t.txt
