Re: removing Dir from CVS control

[Stuart Donaldson]

Ok then...

If you are absolutely sure you want no CVS concept of the directory, you 
can go into the repository and remove it.  However this removes that 
directory and its contents.  There will be no going back, and no history 
maintained.

The best way is to import the directory without dirX in the first place. 
But once that is done, your only answer that I know of is to directly 
edit the repository.

assuming your repository is in /cvs (ie: CVSROOT=/cvs) then you should 
see your project as /cvs/rootdir (using the names you supplied below.) 
You should be able to  remove /cvs/rootdir/dirX.  

You should make sure that nobody has the project checked out, because 
their working CVS/Entries file will contain a reference to dirX which no 
longer exists in the repository.  If they do have the project checked 
out, they will get warnings when using CVS in that project until they 
edit and fix the CVS/Entries file.
