The problem is specific to folders that
exist on the server but are empty and is only an issue pruning (-P) is
enable. In this scenario, the command line client will ignore locally created
folders even if the folder also exists remotely. However, in Eclipse, we
encounted a performance issue when synchronizing projects that contained
a large number of empty folders. To address the performance issue, we had
to keep track of these empty folders. However, this led to the situation
where recreating one of these folders in Eclipse will detect that the folder
also exists in the repository and will therefore not be ignored. I am sure
tat a workaround is possible but we do not have the manpower to address
the issue.

P.S. If the problem you are seeing does
not involve the recreation of folders that also exist in the repository,
then you may have discovered a different problem.

[platform-cvs-dev] .cvsignore not working
I have a feeling that this is a bug/issue that has
been looming for
awhile, but am trying to get a sense for what the current state is on
it.
Basically, I believe the bug I'm referring to is this one:
More specifically, cvs files added to the .cvsignore file are not
ignored as I expected they would be. The files you requested to be
ignored still appear in your sync view and still have delta
decorators. Whether this is by design, or due to some core cvs server
flaw, or just a bug that's not a huge priority I can't tell, but it's
been around a long while.
Can some one shed some light on this bug? Why it appears, whether it's
in the queue for a fix or not, and/or whether there's a workaround?
Many thanks -
Noah
