The how do you explain the fact that when I now check out the project,
doc is missing?
% cvs -d /home/messengr/cvs checkout -r v3_0_6 myproj
% cd myproj/
% ls

(doc is missing)
Do you have a ~/.cvsrc file that specifies 'checkout -P'? The 'Existing
Tags:' for Manual.tex doesn't include the 'v3_0_6' tag, so that file
isn't a part of that branch/tag. If a directory is empty, and the '-P'
option is used with 'cvs checkout' the empty directory will be pruned
from your working directory. Since you didn't specify the '-P' option in
your command, it could be specified in the ~/.cvsrc file.
Actually, I did a quick little test and it seems that an empty
sub-directory is pruned (in this case) regardless of whether -P is
present. So, the reason that the doc directory is missing in your
working directory is because the Manual.tex file was not tagged with the
v3_0_6 tag, and so when you checked out the myproj hierarchy using that
tag the doc directory was empty, and so was not checked out in your
working directory.
