Can we remove the src/tapsets directory from CVS? It doesn't appear to
be used for anything. I assume it's left over from earlier tapset work.
It's confusing to newbies to have both the tapset (active) and tapsets
(inactive) directories.
Mike,
This is a cvs oddity/bug. In cvs, directories aren't versioned objects,
so you can't really remove them. What you can do however, is use the
'-P' (prune) switch when doing checkouts/updates to avoid grabbing empty
directories. To have cvs default to this behavior, place the following
lines in your ~/.cvsrc file (creating it if necessary):
checkout -P
update -P
