No subject

thus causing the timestamp on the parent directory to be modified. Is
there any way of getting cvs to do build directories excluding empty
ones? Then I would not need to prune emtpy directories.

Btw, the reason my build looks at directories aswell as files, is to
detect if a file has been deleted since the last build.

Thanks,
Manish

The original post said "When I execute a 'cvs update -d' or a 'cvs
update -P', " so not 'cvs up -d -P', but two different commands and that
either. =20

You are quite right that 'cvs update -d' followed by 'cvs update -P'
could change the directory timestamp.
