Ok. The idea is to delete all files from the directory, and tell CVSNT to
ignore its contents. Then restore the original files.

- Copy the Test folder somewhere else, unrelated to any other CVS folder.
This is your backup.

- Create a .cvsignore file inside Test, containing this single line: *.*
One way is using the console: open a CMD console, CD to the Test
directory, and type:
echo *.*>.cvsignore
Another way: create a new file in the Test folder, no matter which. Right
click on it and choose "CVS Ignore" from the Tortoise menu. This will
create the .cvsignore file; open it with notepad, remove all its contents,
leaving only a line with: *.*

- "CVS Add" the .cvsignore file, in case it was not already added.

- Select all files in the directory (but not the .cvsignore file, neither
the CVS subdirectory) and choose "CVS Remove". This will remove the
complete directory contents.

- "CVS Commit" the entire directory (the dialog box should display all
removed files, plus .cvsignore)

- That's all. Copy all the directory contents from your backup, but don't
copy the CVS subdirectories. TortoiseCVS will ignore this Test directory
           from now on.
