asami 97/03/10 04:31:57 Removed: sysutils/xbatt/patches patch-aa patch-ab Log: Argh...I really hate cvs's "feature" to remove the directory when you do a "cvs update" after you "cvs remove" all the files in a directory. I usually do the "cvs update" to make sure I haven't forgotten to "cvs add" or "cvs remove" anything. The only problem is, if the directory has just become empty, "cvs update" will just silently remove the directory, completely forgetting about the "cvs remove" I just did. And the subsequent "cvs commit" will (of course) ignore the directory. Only when you do a second "cvs update" (at which point it will suddenly discover that the files are "lost") or watch carefully what cvsup transfers (which is what I just did), you will notice the mistake. :( Ok, I probably rambled enough. Good thing these patchfiles are going to disappear from the Attic in a few months. :)
