> Is there a way to have cvsup not re-populate the Attic files?
Yes, as a matter of fact there is. You can use "refuse" files for that.
See CVSUP(1) for details, but I'll give you the recipe here. In each
directory "<base>/sup/<collection>", create a file named "refuse"
containing this line:
*/Attic/*
(where <base> and <collection> are the corresponding settings from
your supfile, of course). This will make CVSup completely ignore
all Attic directories. What that means: It won't delete anything
from them, but it won't repopulate them either. So, after you've
set up your "refuse" files, you'll have to use something like "find
... | xargs rm" to manually delete all the "Attic/*" files. After
that, they'll remain empty.

I'm smilin' :-)
