hidden (dot) files ignored in root directory of CVS #2

Copy link

If a CVS repository contains a hidden (.) file i.E. Eclipse .project and .classpath file it is ignored in the cp command copying a local cvs path.

cp -rf $CVSROOT/$MODULE/* $MODULE/

changing it to

cp -rf $CVSROOT/$MODULE/. $MODULE/

solves this issue.

This is when converting a local CVS repo (not using cvsclone). An alternative would be to add shopt -s dotglob to the shell script, making the '*' match hidden files also.
