And if you want it to prune away the old ones add a ``-P''. The normal and correct way to keep a checked out tree up to date is with: cvs update -P -d if you want to cut down on the noise level: cvs -q update -P -d The correct way to check out an initial tree is cvs co -P module The -P option keeps the initial checkout from getting stuff that has been removed from the active part of the branch or head via cvs remove. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
