This is really > problematic because the exported repository does not return empty folders. this is caused by the "Prune empty directories"-feature. cvs update has an option to switch this on (-P) while cvs export defaults to this behaviour. In many circumstances this is the wanted behaviour anyway, because cvs has no information about the existence (or deletions) of directorys. To work around this problem put a dummy file in folders you want to always appear on update or export. I use ".emptydir" files for this purpose. bye, OK.
