To clarify the problem, you are probably talking about the 'Delete' action (not CVS->Remove, which cause [Locally Removed] status), therefore the file status after delete is [Needs Checkout], is that right ? If you delete a file, its entry in CVS/Entries remains intact and therefore the file is reported as "Needs Checkout". If you delete a folder, all files including CVS/Entries are gone. Therefore the folder disapears. There is an associated bug #8525. I think, that there are two ways, how to solve this bug and bug #8525: 1) remove the whole folder and remove its entry in parent's CVS/Entries 2) remove only the folder content, but keep all CVS/* intact. This will result in the folder's files being shown in the Explorer with [Needs Checkout] status. IMHO the solution might be: ask the user which way of folder delete s/he want to do and then perform either 1) or 2). Is this solution acceptable ? Any comments ? Marked as diplicate of bug #8525. Suggestion about the possible solution copied there. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 8525 *** verified as a duplicate. Pls, if you have more comments, write them to the issue #8525 thanks |
