I cannot reproduce this problem. When I linked a folder that had been checked out by Eclipse from CVS, the CVS folders did not appear as packages. Actually they were not even present in the Navigator view.

Moving to Platform/CVS for further comments.

I tried it again. It's interesting that it includes some CVS directories but not others. The distinction between those directories is not obvious.
The attributes are the same, as well as the files inside.

Example:
This CVS is hidden:
***jmxutil>dir /s /a
 Directory of ...\jmxutil

01/15/2008  05:10 PM    <DIR>          .
01/15/2008  05:10 PM    <DIR>          ..
01/15/2008  05:10 PM    <DIR>          CVS
06/15/2006  09:58 PM               611 JMXClient.java
......

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
