Hello people, I'm trying to figure out how to import a set of empty directories into a CVS project. I must say I use a rather old CVS version on the client side (1.11.1p1, Debian Woody current); on the server side it is either also 1.11.1p1 (local repository) or 1.11.5-FreeBSD (remote one, on a FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE system).
If I do a "cvs -f import ..." towards the local repo, the empty directories are imported just fine; towards the remote one, they are skipped. I don't find any CVS admin file settings on this topic, and no release note remarks on any behavior change in this respect 1.11.1 -> 1.11.5, so I'm puzzled. The CVS manual web page at https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.3/cvs_3.html#SEC42 (also said to be valid for 1.11.5 at that spot) clearly presents importing an empty directory set as an easy way of starting a project, so that suggests this should work. Of course I can just do a "cvs add" for each directory, but I'm the kind that wants to know why things happen :-). Please post any answers back to this newsgroup. Help is greatly appreciated!
