RE: Feature Request: admin files for "cvs import" and "cvs add<dir>"

[Alexandre Augusto Drummond Barroso]

I think the discution is limited to what can be done about the import issue, 
because cvs doesn't deal with the concept of "adding directories" or "removing 
directories" directly. AFAIK, what it really does is "remove all files from 
certain directory" to remove a directory or "add files that have a common path 
witch doesn't exist before" to add a directory.
