As far as the recursion is concerned, I think CVS simply recurses into every directory and proceeds to update it if it finds a CVS directory there. > Even though the modification time of CVS/Entries is changed > everytime, those directories are not added. Like it or not, that's a feature. Those directories where not checked out into this parent directory. CVS doesn't know about them, so it purposely ignores them. CVS will not pick up random files lying around and add or sync them to the repository. That they happen to share the names of directories already in the repository doesn't matter. Things either need to have been checked out or added. > Am I not doing something correctly. I don't know how you created this particular situation, but you must have done something wrong along the way. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
