Subject: | Hack to remove empty dir from CVS repository |
Date: | Mon, 25 Apr 2005 11:32:16 -0400 |
I understand it is not possible to remove a directory from CVS.
The best you can do remove every file in it and prune (-P) the empty dir every
time you do a checkout or update of the module that contains the directory. I want to get around this limitation by manually deleting a
directory inside my CVS repository. I would like to hear a guru tell me
which files need to be tweaked under CVSROOT to keep my repository stable after
I do this. I want to delete a directory, DataProvider, that is
immediately under my $CVSROOT directory. It is completely empty and has
never contained any files. There is nothing in it, not even a CVS dir.
$ cd $CVSROOT $ ls CVSROOT/
DataProvider/ Meteor2.1/ Meteor3.2/ $ cd DataProvider $ ls $ I did a grep of the configuration files in CVSROOT for
DataProvider to see if there were any references I had to delete and found
nothing. $ cd $CVSROOT/CVSROOT $ grep DataProvider * $ So, is it ok for me to just do the following? $ cd $CVSROOT $ rmdir DataProvider Thanks. |
