Hi, About 2 years ago I asked about the recursive behavior of CVS. I asked how CVS decides whether it should recurse into a subdirectory or not, and I got the following reply from Larry Jones: "In general, if there's no CVS subdirectory in a directory or if there are no D lines in CVS/Entries, CVS will recurse into all of the existing subdirectories. If there are D lines in CVS/Entries, CVS will recurse into only those subdirectories." You can find the question and the reply at: http://www.mail-archive.com/info-cvs@gnu.org/msg07004.html
Is this behavior limited to a single CVS repository? That is, if I have a directory tree that contains working directories from several repositories, and also non-working directories, is this algorithm still the same? I have the following case: Under some directory (let's call it "root"), there are 4 directories: dir1, dir2, dir3, dir4. dir1 and dir4 are working directories, while the other two are non-working directories (just simple directories created with mkdir), however, they contain working directories just beneath them. When I run "cvs update" at "root", it recurses into dir1 and dir4, but not into dir2 and dir3 (i.e., not into their subdirectories which are working directories). Any idea why is that?
