CVS Perspective à CVS Repositories Right click on a folder à Check out as Project à Check out as … à Check out into … It would be nice to provide a configuration option whether or not to prune empty directories on the above ways to check out a project. This could be a setting under Window à Presences : Team à CVS, etc. Or this could be a check-box on the corresponding pop-up window. The reason for this, is that for day-to-day activities it is very nice to have the “Prune empty directories” option set. However, initially checking out a project it is beneficial to allow a developer to distinguish. This stems from creating a default project structure (not in Eclipse – via scripts on the server where the CVS repository is located). This default project structure will contain empty directories; however, these are essential to the project. So if prune is on, the project will not be built correctly. Another way to put it, the project would not be checked out properly.
Thus why everyone hate and loves CVS ;-) I'll just note here that the workaround is to do a team/update immediately after checkout. It's ugly, but it's what you'd have to do on the command line if you wanted that to happen. mike
Is this the same as bug 43112?
Looks the same to me (thanks Ed). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 43112 ***
