Remove empty directory from CVS?

Question

I\'m not quite sure how this happened, but somehow a completely empty hierarchy of directories has ended up in my repository:

com/
com/companyname/
com/compa         


        

Answer 1

CVS checkout and update will always check out empty directories; that's just the way CVS is built. Do an update with "-P" -- "prune" -- to remove empty directories:

cvs update -dP

(Adding "-d" will update new directories that have appeared since your last update; otherwise, CVS will ignore them.)
