NAME

       pruneemptydirs - Detects stale source directories in a CVS tree

SYNOPSIS

       pruneemptydirs [-f]

DESCRIPTION

       pruneemptydirs  is  used  to  clean  up  a  local  CVS tree. It detects
       directories containing remnants of old stuff  which  has  been  removed
       from  the  CVS.  Such  stale  directories  often break compilation. The
       current directory and all directories beneath it will be examined.

       Note that this tool does not remove anything; it simply prints what  to
       do  as  a  series  of  remove  commands.  You  can copy and paste these
       commands, or use them with eval in a script.

       This tool works better if the source directory is not the same  as  the
       build  directory,  since  it  will not print directories containing old
       executables.

       This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.

OPTIONS

       -f     Actually perform the deletions instead  of  just  printing  them
              out. Use this option with care.
