That is not a possible option. CVS does not version directories -- only
files. Directories are just containers for files that come and go as
needed. If your soruce distribution must contain empty directories then
I suggest you add something like a "make dist" target to your build
procedures that you can run in a "cvs export"ed module to create those
empty directories for you.
Otherwise you'll have to put a file in the directory and keep it there,
ppossibly removing it just before you package up your distribution....
You should put "update -P" or even "update -d -P" in your ~/.cvsrc files
too just so you get used to this feature too.....
