Ok. Are those deprecation issues scheduled for NB 4.0?

But maybe, we can start to solve these inside the javacvs module
along the way. I'll do a re-build with the "build.compiler.deprecation"
flag set to true later.

Dooh! No, I haven't. I should have read the entire subject of the
topic. Never mind. So I started over again:

1. Imported a new module.                      [OK]
2. Added a subdirectory to an existing module. [OK]
3. Added a directory to the root.              [FAILURE]
   The message provided by the server reads:
   " cvs [server aborted]: cannot add to
     D:/cvsroot/nosdev/CVSROOT/Emptydir "

Now I know, what you meant with problems with "CVSROOT/Emptydir".
The situation is, that there is a "magic root" CVS directory with
the above string in the "Repository" file.
There should be a test, whether we are in the root of a work copy,
so prepend nothing to a newly added directory (it's a new module),
or if it is a submodule. Then the above heuristic works fine.

I tried to implement that behaviour but did not succeeded, yet.

Here is my debug output:

     [exec] [AddCommand] repository = nosdev/resources/text
     [exec] [AddBuilder] bestMatch = E:\projects\nosdev\calix\resources\text
(*)  [exec] [AddCommand] repository = nosdev/./123
     [exec] [AddBuilder] bestMatch = E:\projects\nosdev\calix\123

Here (*) shouldn't appear the dot '.'. And in the resulting
"CVS/Repository" file, I get "/123" which does not allow to
update the new module without deleting and checking it out
from scratch.
