What you don't realize is that the import command cannot create the top folder if it does not exist. It creates folders downwards. (I think) So given that you have a folder with subfolders that you want to import to CVS, but not as a new module but rather as a submodule on an *existing* module then you can do so by specifying the location of the new submodule using the topmodule/submodule notation as the destination. BUT the topmodule *must* exist as a valid module and I believe that you must spell it *exactly* as it is named in the repository too. I just did a test of this and it works quite well through WinCvs. Here is the final command that WinCvs showed in the command window (wrapped to two lines here): cvs -z9 import -I ! -I CVS -I *.exe -I *.zip -m "no message" ModuleXX/imptest avendor arelease (in directory C:\Temp\bb) I have no clue as to the arguments -I ! -I CVS that appears... In any case this import produced a subfolder in the existing module MonuleXX just as I specified. /Bo On Fri, 7 Jun 2002 13:53:23 +0000 (UTC), "Matthias Mohr" <MMohr at SysDesign-EDV.de> wrote: > >> Import is for adding entire new trees.
