[cvsnt] unable to remove directory structure

np - BTW: Whenever I rename, or make changes in the repository, I like
to follow these steps:

1 - make sure I've done all commits in (i.e. I get a 'clean' update).
2 - Modify the repository to how I want it to be
3 - delete the entire subtree from the parent of the error (or back
them up some where/ move them)
4 - do a cvs up at that point, and simply let CVS create all of my
files and CVS directories again!

The benefit here, is that you're still letting CVS be the boss, and all
of your CVS directories will be created just as CVS wants them to be.

Aaron thanks,
You are right!
In the sibling CVS Entries file still had the empty folder.
Thanks a lot,
Aharon

I would check in the sibilng CVS folder, and see if there is an entry
for it still there, or if it simply exists as a local directory in
your
sandbox.

Hi,

There is no error.
I removed the directory but wincvs still shows the directory as if it
exists, though I can't access it from cvs because it is really not
there.

Wincvs changes a bit the icon for that folder. As if to tell the
folder

And if I update with Prune Empty Directory it does not remove that
folder.
Thanks,
Aharon Tam

Are you unable to manually edit the repository at all? i.e. simply 'rm
dirname' on the console??

Whats the error?

Hello Mike,

 

I have the same problem. I am unable to remove empty directories from
the
repository.

Did you find a way how to do it?

 

Regards,

Aharon Tam
