Ok. But when i tried -n option with import, it reports back a syntax error in cvs import command. I checked the available options/switches for import and there was no option "-n" available. I understand empty directory problem, thanks. Any thoughts for -n option ??? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oliver Giesen" <ogware at gmx.net> wrote in message news:cbbrji$sg8$3 at paris.nodomain.org...

Then, I entered the command: cvs import -m "new" fums v_tag r_tag Just BTW: If you use the -n option you could skip the v_branch and r_tag arguments, i.e. cvs im -m"new" -n fums > 3.

There has to be at least one file in them, otherwise CVS will ignore them. Empty folders can only be added to the repository individually using the Add command and even then noone would be able to check them out unless you committed any files inside them.
