No, that's not true. The -P option is used for removing directories that 
have *become* empty in the course of an update, i.e. when all files have 
been removed from them.

BTW: Unfortunately, unlike most other mailing lists, the CVSNT list does 
not set the Reply-To header. Thus, in order to send your reply back to 
the list instead of just to the original sender, you will have to 
manually set the addressee back to the list when replying. 
Alternatively, use Reply All and then manually remove the original 
sender (usually the easier approach). I am told that there also exist 
mail clients which actually have a "Reply to List" command.
Yet another alternative is to scrap email altogether and simply use the 
NNTP mirror which is what I do: news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt

Cheers,
