We just started using CVS for a web project. The project has two root folders which I created as two modules. I didn't review the files in the project before creating the modules--big mistake. Turns out the project has 10,000+ files in it. The problem is there are three folders which are intermingled with the code folders that have uploaded images and intermediary text files. These are about 7,000 of the files and take up about 500mb. These do not need to be in CVS. Now that I've put all this junk into CVS how can I permanently remove these files from CVS including all the revision info? These files never should have been in CVS so I'm not worried about losing history or anything. If I have to I can delete the repo entirely and recreate it without these files, but then I'll lose the existing history (about two weeks of changes). Thanks, Sam
