I can't duplicate the problem. I did a fresh checkout-mode fetch of ports/games/quakeserver, and it correctly didn't give me the empty patches directory. In checkout mode, CVSup only checks for empty directories when it removes files. I.e., if it removes a file, it checks at that point to see whether the containing directory has now become empty. So if your patches directory got created by some other means, or if it became empty by some other means, then CVSup wouldn't do anything about it. That's the only explanation I can think of for what happened. John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
