Description RefuX 2001-02-16 21:33:50 UTC 
If I delete a file, it is labeled as [Locally Removed] if I delete a directory it just dissapears.
Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2001-02-19 16:32:39 UTC 
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 ?
