[CF-Devel] how we can manually remove files from CVS attic?

[Michael Toennies]

Hi

One problem with the CVS:

When we remove a file with CVS commands (remove, etc.), the file
is removed from official tree, but not deleted.

The file is moved in a hidden sub folder, called Attic.

This is for later access - perhaps we remove something but then we want
recast is later. Then the CVS get this file back from this hidden folder.

So good, so intelligent. Not so intelligent is, that CVS has no really
folder managment.

If you remove a file y from folder x, file y is put in Attic folder of x.

But because y is not cleared (there is still y in hidden Attic), the folder
x is still shown with a CVS entry - also when it is empty.

Because this actions, the Yoyodyme folder is still CVS.

What we must is, to remove the files in Attic folder with hand - means we
must
access the folder of the CVS rep. and do a rm y, so this is removed from
Attic -
THEN CVS removes the Yoyodyme folder too!

Well, anyone knows how we/i can access our CVS root?

For the iso_arch, i had some to add/remove and change, this will look very
ugly.
