Why does CVS omit folders when committing?

Question

I do have a project with structure

project/lib/lib1/subfolders
           /lib2/...

lib2 was recently added and is now in CVS. When committing /project, the changed files in /project and /project/lib2 are part of the commit, however lib2/subfolders are not. I can commit each subfolder of lib2 individually without error but would like them to be part of the full commit.

Why does CVS omit these subfolders when committing?

Answer 1

Looking into lib2/CVS/entries I've found the following structure:

/index.html/1.3/Sat Mar 16 09:58:04 2013//
/humans.txt/1.1/Sat Mar 16 09:58:00 2013//
/robots.txt/1.1/Sat Mar 16 09:58:04 2013//
D

In lib1 however, instead of D, each directory was shown separately:

D/css////
D/fonts////
D/js////
D/img////

The problem is obviously that in lib2 the folders are not mentioned in the entries file.

I've now changed the entries files to explicitly contain the directory and problem appears to be solved. It's still unclear what when wrong when adding lib2 though.
