Hello!
How about removing the old testsuite? It is not used anywhere. "make dist"
will not include it into the distribution.
In order to remove a directory from CVS you need to remove all the files
in the directory. After that "cvs update -P" will delete empty directories
on the client side.
Note that the old testsuite will still be available in CVS. All historic
versions will be preserved.
I don't think that keeping dead code just for reference is the right way
of using CVS. CVS is for things that change.
Regards,
Pavel Roskin
