| <TD valign="top" align="left"> Use this option to specify the pruning of empty |
| directories on update and in the synchronization view. Although pruned directories |
| aren't shown in the workbench there is actually still an empty directory |
| in the repository. This is helpful because CVS doesn't provide a client |
| with the ability to remove directories from the server. It should be noted that |
| pruning is always on when checking out from a branch of version regardless |
| of the value of this preference, in accordance with the CVS specification.</TD> |

| except what is absolutely necessary to complete the command is suppressed. |
| In <STRONG>Very Quiet</STRONG> mode, some CVS servers may not communicate |
| important information about errors that have occurred. You may want to consider |
