RE: error removing a directory from my working directory

Thanks for your response.

So right now, there are no traces of this directory (the directory itself, and all its subdirectories and files and CVS dirs) in my working directory, but it is still there in the repository. 

I've typed in cvs release -d.  I have no uncommitted changes.

Now when I want to get a working copy of the directory I just got rid of:
cvs checkout dir_name I get the error "cannot find module 'dir_name' -ignored"

what does this mean? How can I do this?

Not a big one. CVS should be able to handle it.

cvs release -d will remove the directory, and will also warn you if you have
uncommitted changes.
