(cvs.info.gz) Removing directories

 
 7.3 Removing directories
 ========================
 
 In concept removing directories is somewhat similar to removing
 files--you want the directory to not exist in your current working
 directories, but you also want to be able to retrieve old releases in
 which the directory existed.
 
    The way that you remove a directory is to remove all the files in
 it.  You don't remove the directory itself; there is no way to do that.
 Instead you specify the `-P' option to `cvs update' or `cvs checkout',
 which will cause CVS to remove empty directories from working
 directories.  (Note that `cvs export' always removes empty directories.)
 Probably the best way to do this is to always specify `-P'; if you want
 an empty directory then put a dummy file (for example `.keepme') in it
 to prevent `-P' from removing it.
 
    Note that `-P' is implied by the `-r' or `-D' options of `checkout'.
 This way CVS will be able to correctly create the directory or not
 depending on whether the particular version you are checking out
 contains any files in that directory.
