I have not raised it. I do not think it is a bug. Generally I think it
is more of a bug that something like drag and drop of a file on top of
another one Eclipse tells the version control system it is a delete and an
add instead of just not saying anything.

In this case, I do not know if they called the hook if it would be better
or worse.

I do not know. I think CVS is very much more forgiven than Subversion
about what is in the CVS dir.

I am not that crazy about the idea. If you want to look into a patch I
will look at it though. You probably just need to hook into the Add code,
although the other option would be to hook into the code that says whether
to ignore something. In other words, we already have code that looks up
whether an item is in the Eclipse ignore list, perhaps a check could be
added if the item is a folder to see if it is a build folder.
