Description Michael Valenta CLA 2002-07-04 12:17:18 EDT 
On quick inspection, it appears that, for operations performed on a folder, the 
entire structure rooted at that folder is sent to the server. Presently, this 
is not a problem since we usually perform commands deeply (-R). However, if we 
start support non-recursive commands (-l) we will need to fix the sending up of 
the local file structure

This bug has not been touched for 2 years. Closing as WONTFIX. Please reopen if 
you feel this is still an important issue.

Even after three years I still care about the issue I raised in bug 12396 <g>.
It is distracting if I have a change only in package com.x.y but com.x (which
does contain files as well and is shown in the package explorer) is also flagged
as scratched.
Of course, if I have a simple folder structure (not packages)) com/x/y and y is
scratched I would also expect x and com to be shown as scratched.
Comment 4 Michael Valenta CLA 2005-05-18 14:45:22 EDT 
Actually, this particular bug was fixed in 3.1. The CVS command infrastrucutre 
supports shallow operations. Also, with the use of ResourceMappings CVS 
operations on Java packages will be shallow. More work is plan for 3.2 
(decorators, sync view, etc).
Comment 5 Knut Radloff CLA 2005-05-18 15:35:08 EDT 
The issue I raised in bug 12396 has not been fixed yet then?
Comment 6 Michael Valenta CLA 2005-05-18 16:12:20 EDT 
Correct. The specific cases of the Sync view and decorators are not in 3.1 and 
are planned for 3.2.
