Hi Chris,

  I can't comment on what you should do with the Foundation directory 
but if you are concerned about being able to remove it from CVS, I 
wouldn't be.  What you should do is simply remove all of the files 
contained in the directory.  There's no way to remove the directory 
itself but that doesn't matter.

  Everyone using CVS would be well advised to always give the -P option 
to the commands checkout, update and export.  Then any empty directory 
will not be created so its as if it had been removed from the 
repository.  The easiest way to do this is to put the following lines in 
your .cvsrc file:

checkout -P
update -P
export -P

  I also use the -d option with update so that any new directories will 
be created on update.

Best wishes.
Gerard
