Hi

In the A.10 section of CVS manual, it claims that "cvs export" is
equivalent to "cvs checkout", but without CVS directories.  However, I
found out that

  cvs checkout

create subdirectories even if they're empty.

On the other hand, 

  cvs export -D now

refuses to create directories that are empty.

Is this the expected behavior of "cvs export"?  Is there a way to make
"cvs export" create subdirectories even if they're empty?

Or do I have to live with the workaround that run "cvs checkout" first
and then remove CVS directories?

  cvs checkout
  find . -type d -name CVS | xargs rm -fr

FYI, I'm using CVS 1.10.8 with :local: access method.

BTW, the ungainly workaround that add a dummy hidden file in every empty
directory is NOT really a workaround.


Thanks.  Your help is appreciated.


Regards
Hon-Chi
