[Savannah-users] Messed up CVS repository

[Asher Gordon]

Hello,

I recently created a new project using CVS
(https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/magic-square) and I accidentally
imported my entire directory tree including files which should not be
imported (i.e. compiled and automatically generated files). I removed
these files with "cvs remove", but if I understand correctly,
directories cannot be removed with CVS.

These directories (as well as all the unnecessary dead files) are
bothering me. Would it be possible to reset the CVS repository to its
initial state so I can start over and only import what I need?

Sorry for the inconvenience! I am still pretty new to CVS and version
control systems in general.

Also, just to be clear, it's the Sources repository, not the Web Pages
repository.

Thanks in advance,
Asher

P.S. I know you can use the -P option to prune empty directories, but
they are still in the repository and everyone who wanted to check out
the repository would have to use -P. The directories are also visible in
ViewVC.
