CVS export
I have got a CVS repository and now want to export (not check out) its contents. This is done via the 'export' command and generally works.
however, if there exist any directories in the target location having the same names like the ones in the repository (having been created by a previous export), cvs simply refuses to overwrite them and their contents. but this is what i'd like it to do.
so, is there any possibility to force the cvs export to simply overwrite everything in the destitnation dir? my solution now is a shell script which at first deletes everything and then issues the cvs export. is there a more elegant way?
