You just need to tell it to. trout:~ % cvs -H update Usage: cvs update [-APdflRp] [-k kopt] [-r rev|-D date] [-j rev] [-I ign] [-W spec] [files...] -A Reset any sticky tags/date/kopts. -P Prune empty directories. -d Build directories, like checkout does. .... Note '-d', which will allow it to 'build' new directories. Also note '-P', which causes it to remove directories that become emtpy as they occur. Why this isn't the default behavior has been subject to much discussion on the CVS mailing lists. :( Nate
