Re: Branch and Add file problem

[Gerald Brandt]

Thanks for the answer.  The 'someone' already has the branch, and the
directories are being created in the users sandbox.  They are just empty.

I tried a -d (create directories), and the result is the same... the dirs
are empty.  Does CVS not remember that the current sandbox being updated
in a specific branch?

Thanks,
Gerald
