Hello,


Glad to hear that it is working for you.

The reason you don't see empty directories is that SandWeb runs cvs 
update with the -dP options, which causes cvs to download new 
directories, and purge empty directories.

This could be made configurable, but I haven't heard any case for it 
that convinces me that CVS is better off without these options.

If you add a file to this directory, then it will not be removed when 
updated ( from any client, create directory then cvs add directory then 
create, add and commit files into it. It does not matter if the 
directory already exists in CVS ).



Hope that helps.
Rob
