Re: Removing directories...

[Francis Irving]

Two solutions:

1. Make everyone uses "cvs update -d -P" all the time. (Either via a
GUI tool, by getting into the habit of it, or by changing your
configuration files so it does it).

2. Delete the actual folders in the repository itself.  Of course,
this loses backup of the deleted files in the folders, but this may
not matter to you.  You can always archive them somewhere outside the
repository.
