[platform-vcm-dev] CVS deleted directories and "purge empty dir" option

Eclipse 2.1

I have noticed a strange behaviour when using the "purge empty dir" option.
When i checkout a project that has deleted directories they are correctly not checked out but the related CVS/Entries file that is built, still lists them and any following cvs update (all done with -d -P options) do not clean Entries file and still tries to update from those deleted directories producing a lot of useless work when the project has many of them.
The same happens if i delete a directory from within eclipse, the cvs
update does not clean Entries file from that deleted dir.

This looks different from normal cvs behaviour that when said to "purge empty dir" deletes the entry from Entries file and never more bothers with that directory unless you resurrect it somehow.
Is that an intended behaviour or is an error?

Regards,  Gabriele.
