Re: CVS Operation

[Gianni Mariani]

CVS does not operate on directories, it operates on files.  Once you 
have created a directory it's there foreverver (unless you pop into the 
repository and remove it by hand at the risk of breaking someone else).

To "remove" a directory, remove all the files in it and then do a 'cvs 
update -Pd' in the parent.  This will nuke empty directories.

It's all described in the docs.

One way to answer your second question is to try it.  Moving files 
around makes it impossible for cvs to fix things.
