When importing a project from CVS with pruning of empty directories, the CVS/Entries file lists also the pruned directories. This seem to differ from what happens when a cvs checkout -P is made, where the pruned directories are not included in the CVS/Entries file. I stumbled upon this when trying to make a cvs status -vR aProject standing in the workspace directory, and getting a 'could not chdir to <a pruned directory>' error. (I wanted to use the cvs status command in a script to check that aProject is properly tagged.) See the example below, where aProject has been imported from CVS with pruning of directories: [janne@janne workspace]$ cvs status -vR aProject cvs status: Examining aProject/assets cvs [status aborted]: could not chdir to assets: No such file or directory [janne@janne workspace]$ cat aProject/CVS/Entries /.classpath/1.1/Wed Oct 27 20:37:54 2010// /.project/1.2/Wed Nov 24 22:57:55 2010// /AndroidManifest.xml/1.8/Sun Feb 27 19:26:59 2011// D/assets//// D/bin//// /default.properties/1.3/Thu Jan 27 17:43:39 2011// D/doc//// D/res//// D/src//// [janne@janne workspace]$ mkdir /tmp/checkoutbug [janne@janne workspace]$ cd /tmp/checkoutbug [janne@janne checkoutbug]$ cvs checkout -P aProject cvs checkout: Updating aProject U aProject/.classpath U aProject/.project U aProject/AndroidManifest.xml U aProject/default.properties : : U aProject/src/..../package-info.java [janne@janne checkoutbug]$ cat aProject/CVS/Entries /.classpath/1.1/Wed Oct 27 20:37:54 2010// /.project/1.2/Wed Nov 24 22:57:55 2010// /AndroidManifest.xml/1.8/Sun Feb 27 19:26:59 2011// /default.properties/1.3/Thu Jan 27 17:43:39 2011// D/bin//// D/doc//// D/res//// D/src//// [janne@janne checkoutbug]$ cvs status -vR aProject =================================================================== File: .classpath Status: Up-to-date Working revision: 1.1 Wed Oct 27 20:37:54 2010 Repository revision: 1.1 /var/cvs/aProject/.classpath,v Sticky Tag: (none) Sticky Date: (none) Sticky Options: (none) Existing Tags: aProject_0-5 (revision: 1.1) aProject_0-4 (revision: 1.1) aProject_0-3 (revision: 1.1) aProject_0_2 (revision: 1.1) =================================================================== : : [janne@janne checkoutbug]$
