[cvsnt] Re: adding modules to cvs repository

[Raheel]

Ok. But when i tried -n option with import, it reports back a syntax error in cvs import command. I checked the available options/switches for import and there was no option "-n" available.  I understand empty directory problem, thanks.  Any thoughts for -n option ???

Just BTW: If you use the -n option you could skip the v_branch and r_tag
arguments, i.e.

cvs im -m"new" -n fums

Empty folders will not get imported. There has to be at least one file
in them, otherwise CVS will ignore them. Empty folders can only be added 
to the repository individually using the Add command and even then noone 
would be able to check them out unless you committed any files inside them.

Hope this helps.
