You can force-commit both files and directories from WinCvs! Well, at least
in version 1.3, but I recall seeing it in v1.2 also.
>From the "Commit settings" dialog (you may have to press the shift key to
get it, if you disabled it), on the "Commit options" page there is a "Force
commit (even if not modified)" checkbox.
