Re: [platform-vcm-dev] CVS deleted directories and "purge empty dir" opt

["Michael Valenta" <Michael_Valenta@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is intended behavior. For efficiency reasons, Eclipse keeps track of all purged directories. The method used to do this results in the purged directories remaining in the CVS/Entires file. I have entered bug 37864 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=37864) to address your efficiency concerns for the update command.

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.
