I use the following to check out CVS. You will note
that -P option to prune empty directories is not used:

cvs -z3
-d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xbmcmythtv
co xbmcmythtv

I end up with the following in skin directory:

CVS/ README.txt project\ mayhem\ ii/ shared/
Project\ Mayhem/ project\ mayhem/ project\ mayhem\ iii/

Note there are two Project Mayhem directories. One is
upper and lower case, the other is all lower case.

I understand the empty directories are required, but
that only one of the Project Mayhem directories should
exist.

I suggest each necessary (and currently empty)
directory have a placeholder file so that -P can prune
unwanted/previously deleted directories from CVS. Or
have *main.py create them automatically if they do not
exist at first run so -P will not cause an error.

Maybe this problem doesn't exist in Win* land. I'm
checking out on a *nix box.

    If you are getting errors when you run the cvs code using -P
    then please post some logs so that can be fixed. The current
    CVS (as it has for the past month or so) does not require
    ANY skin directories expect the shared one. A directory
    should only be required if it actually has something in it!

    I went back and deleted everything and checked it out using
    -P under XBMC-CVS_2006-03-28-T3CH.rar and it's working so
    I'll close this one and open a new bug report for the
    Pokémon display problem.
