There is a directory with a few empty subdirectories stuck in my CVS repository. I've worked with my local IT expert and checked through several CVS mailing list archives.
A few weeks ago I renamed a directory in my CVS module. I did this by making a copy of the directory, using the "release" command for the copy, renaming the copy, using "cvs add" for the new name directory, and using "cvs remove" for the old name directory. It seems that the old name directory was not removed correctly. Now when I checkout the module, the old name directory appears in my working directory with a small number of its subdirectories and CVS control files. However, it does not contain any of the content files. The new named directory has been working perfectly. At the time I tried this renaming, I was using Windows XP and TortoiseCVS to manage my module. Since then I have switched to Windows XP and the Cygwin command line. Right now, if I checkout the module, CVS will create the old name directory and some of its subdirectories in my working directory. Then if I use "cvs update -P" immediately after the checkout, CVS will include the following message for the old name directory and each of those subdirectories: cvs update: cannot remove directoryX/subdirectoryY: Directory not empty The directories are empty in my working directory; I checked with "ls -a". How can I get the old name directory out of the repository? Has anyone else seen a message like this? Thanks for your help.
