Description Stephen Rasku 2000-07-25 21:54:13 UTC 
Assuming the following CVS structure:
	foo/bar1
	foo/bar2

with foo, bar1, and bar2 all part of a CVS tree.

If you "cvs release" a sub-directory, say bar1.  The CVS/Entries file in
foo will still
contain an entry:

D/bar1////

which will cause problems with future checkins or releases.

nalin, is there a fix for this?
Comment 2 Martin Stransky 2005-03-17 12:32:32 UTC 
It's right, release remove only working copy of files, not files/dirs
in repository.
