ahh ok,
then i guess the big behavior difference in subclipse plugin and cvs plugin
at least how we notice it is because of dirs.

Can we have an option that dirs are never updated with a change set?
But only the files? Because if the dirs are updated then anything that is
below it
can also go with it and that is not what one expect to happen if you just
say
update these files.

the same for properties of a dir. That is a "file" of the dir right? Is it
possible
to update only that instead of the dir (and all the children) itself?

Then after i updated all the changesets i can do a global update to really
also update all the folders.
