mmmh, how do i edit the Entries file?

e.g i get the msg:
    >>cvs server: New directory `rules/images' -- ignored<<
but in the local rules/CVS/Entries is no entry about images at all.
what do i have to put into the Entries file?

well, i did not touch the remote repository (i have even no direct write
access), i only deleted local files.

well i deleted local dirs! but updateting did not purge the empty dirs...
and checkout would overwrite other changes, wouldn't it?

cheers, leo
