In that case, CVSup would consider "patch-a[b-e],v" to be extra, unknown files in your local repository. It didn't create them, and there's no trace of them in the master repository. It doesn't know anything about them -- and so it won't delete them. It will never delete anything that it doesn't know about.
That's what I think happened.
Might be the case ... Now I'm resyncing everything with rsync ... What makes me wonder is, that a cvs update -P stopped at many many ports. Saying, that there are directories and files, that aren't anymore in the repository and it exits ... cvs update doesn't run through ... I had to do a
cd /usr/ports; find . -type d -name patches | xargs rm -rf ...
After that a cvs update -P updated the patches directories and everything seems to be fine ...
Hmmm, I don't know what's going on with your repository. I haven't seen any problems my self, or gotten any other reports of problems, but I'll keep my ears open.
If you see this kind of thing again, please make a "ls -RAlF" listing of your repository (or part of it that's bad), and send it to me. Also, please send copies of the corresponding "checkouts.cvs" file(s) from your "${base}/sup/collection" directories. With those two pieces of information, I should be able to determine whether CVSup is really screwing up or not. I should have asked you for them in the present case, but I suppose it's too late now. :-(
After doing a complete 'rsync' I'll again use cvsup. If then still something isn't ok, I'll drop you a note.
Thanks! Reports of suspected bugs are very much appreciated.
