You can't remove directories in CVS through its normal interface (and shouldn't "back-door" it); instead, you end up doing something like: $ find . -type "f" | grep -v CVS | xargs cvs rm -f to remove all files. I did that on the CVS head when the main Zope repository moved over. > This would have to happen in conjunction with my earlier suggestion > about using commitinfo since unlike the Zope repo we really want to > completely prevent checkins. If we did that on the trunk and each of the active branches in CVS, we would be safe, without having to hack commitinfo.
