Description Gerard Milmeister

I have not been able to find out how to make a cvs update
so that new directories are also retrieved.

In the Team->CVS preferences there is a "Prune Empty Directories" option (turn 
it off).

there is also an option in the project's CVS properties page to turn -d on or 
off (it should be on by default).

Yes I found the option in the project properties dialog. The "Prune" option
is different, and I wonder why both are not in the same location?

Just to clarify:

-d is not prune, -P is prune
-d means add repository directories that don't exist in the local working copy

The option to prune is under Window | Preferences | CVS
The option to add missing repository directories is under the Project properties

Current setup is not intuitive as I also couldn't find where to set -d until I 
found this bug report.

There should be both a global default and a project override.

For most of our projects, I like (or am use to) "Prune Empty Directories" 
checked, but we have one project that needs it to be unchecked before 
synchronizing against the server.  A project level override for the "Prune Empty 
Directories" option would be most welcome.

Is this a dup of bug 39341 and bug 43112?

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
