Thanks Ryan for your answer,
I would like to process as you suggest, but It's hard.
I have many projects under the same svn repository,
and I ofen update the whole thing from top level, so
an update would re-create the deleted directory.
Additionaly, I have subdirectories for different
architectures in each project sometimes 5 levels under
the project. I neither need then nor want them all
(because of a poor disk space concern, i concede, but
mainly because I do not want to deliver everything to
my final client).
So this CVS way of customising by hand the directories
I do not want to keep allow me to get a kind of
"clearcase" view (snapshot like of course).
The main idea is that it's easier to remove what I do
not want than making a full list of what I want and
checkout this list.
How dangerous is it to edit this Entries file ?
Maybe I had to quit this addiction... ;-)
