CVS default setting for empty directories installable driver 20020614a Steps to reproduce: Machine 1 1. Create a java project, create a folder under this java project 2. Connect to CVS Respositories 3. Select the java project, select Team -> share project... 4. In Synchronize, right click on the project -> commit Machine 2 5. Start wsad, 6. Connect to CVS 7. Select the projects, Check out as project 8. Folder under the java project is missing 9. Window -> Preferences -> Team -> CVS Prune empty directories is selected as default Uncheck the Prunce empty directories, do the above steps again. Folder under the java project is shown. We probably want to uncheck the Prune empty directories as default, so that customers won't be confused.
We've chosen to prune by default because you can't (easely) delete directories from the CVS server. Thus for any project that isn't new, its confusing to see the old directories. For new projects unfortunately the opposite happens; as you are initially populating your workspace and creating empty directories, its confusing that you don't get them back. Maybe having the option accessible from the sync view would help. I am marking this future (post 2.0) with 'readme' since I don't see a clear solution given that either default is undersirable for one case. Pls reopen if you feel its critical for 2.0.
