Description Gerard Milmeister CLA 2003-02-20 16:29:16 EST 
I have not been able to find out how to make a cvs update
so that new directories are also retrieved.
Comment 1 Kevin McGuire CLA 2003-02-20 19:20:26 EST 
In the Team->CVS preferences there is a "Prune Empty Directories" option (turn 
it off).
Comment 2 Michael Valenta CLA 2003-02-20 20:58:28 EST 
there is also an option in the project's CVS properties page to turn -d on or 
off (it should be on by default).
Comment 3 Gerard Milmeister CLA 2003-02-21 14:35:08 EST 
Yes I found the option in the project properties dialog. The "Prune" option
is different, and I wonder why both are not in the same location?
Comment 4 Jason Yip CLA 2003-02-23 22:18:52 EST 
Just to clarify:

-d is not prune, -P is prune
-d means add repository directories that don't exist in the local working copy

The option to prune is under Window | Preferences | CVS
The option to add missing repository directories is under the Project properties

Current setup is not intuitive as I also couldn't find where to set -d until I 
found this bug report.

There should be both a global default and a project override.
Comment 5 Dan Rubel CLA 2003-03-03 15:39:32 EST 
For most of our projects, I like (or am use to) "Prune Empty Directories" 
checked, but we have one project that needs it to be unchecked before 
synchronizing against the server.  A project level override for the "Prune Empty 
Directories" option would be most welcome.

Is this a dup of bug 39341 and bug 43112?
Comment 8 Michael Valenta CLA 2006-06-14 11:47:00 EDT

There is currently no plan to address this item.

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
