[cvsnt] Re: New to cvs and having trouble importing

[Nick Duane]

Ok, that explains it I guess.  However, from your last sentence you make it 
seem like the feature would be difficult if not impossible to implement. 
But it almost does it already.  import will create the directory as long as 
the directory contains at least one file (at least that appears to be the 
behavior from my observations).  So some directory information must be 
making it to the server.

Thanks,
Nick
