RE: CVS update -- core dump problem

["Stanley Sutton" <sutton at t-surf dot com>]

Ok. I'll drop the '-d' in the future.  I have the cvs update command
aliased for work, as we allways use the '-P -d' options.  I then pipe it
through a sed script to remove the '?' and other noise lines, so I'll
re-write the alias a bit.

Yeah, it's the "-d", by which you ask it to create any directories in
the
repository that are not present in your checkout.  Generally you don't
need -d unless somebody creates a new subdirectory, and that hasn't
happened in Xconq for some time.

Probably the tcl and tk dirs should be evaporated now?  They were
more useful a few years ago, when tcl/tk was still being worked on
for Windows etc, but I think the private copies have outlived their
usefulness.
