Re: Simple question of removing a directory in CVS

[Steve Gao]

Thanks. I follow your email but got the following error:

test> mv file1 ..
test> cvs rm file1
cvs server: scheduling `file1' for removal
cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to remove this file permanently

test> mv ../file1 .
test> cvs add file1
cvs commit: Examining .
cvs commit: `file1' should be removed and is still there (or is back again)

Just do "cvs add file1" to cancel the remove and resurrect the file
from
the repository.

If I get a bad grade, it'll be YOUR fault for not doing the work for me!
