That directory was explicitly removed from the CVS tree, because it was empty and created name conflics with the one called Images on non-case-senstivie platforms. I guess you would have to remove your local directory images, perhaps physically from the CVS/* files as well. -- Robert Strandh --------------------------------------------------------------------- Greenspun's Tenth Rule of Programming: any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of Common Lisp. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

CVS update doesn't create or delete directories by default; you need to specify some options: cvs up -dP will delete local copies of any deleted directories at the repository (-P) and create any directories newly created at the repository (-d). You can make this default behaviour by adding this line to ~/.cvsrc: update -dP (trim leading whitespace). John

I did that several times before posting the message. Later in the day the same command worked fine and I assumed someone did something to fix it. Or maybe my box was afflicted by some random cosmic ray. All is OK now. Thanks, Paul

No, I had the same problem and it didn't disappear. I had to remove the subdirectory by hand. Regards, Milan Zamazal -- http://www.zamazal.org
