Oh, I thought that this was handled, but I never really tried myself. The only sources where I have used this was when getting a lot of archived embedded controller software into CVS and in this case there were no dropped files, only added ones. Added files were added as they should. >I'd really like to see that handled automatically as well in the >future... maybe by introducing some new option in order to retain >compatibility with GNU CVS? Would that be feasible, Tony? Yes, that would be good. THere are already non-GNU options to import that I use a lot in order NOT to create the Vendor branch for example. Another one that would cvs remove files not impoprted would be good too. /Bo (Bo Berglund, developer in Sweden)
