CVS Repository remove Empty directories?

In JGLMarks java.net CVS Repository, we have a bunch of empty directorys we no longer need. We have tried everything to remove them CVS update -dP cvs release -D but nothing does the trick and gets rid of em off the java.net repository.
Any help on how to get rid of these would be appreciated.

you cannot remove directories in CVS unless you manually remove them from the server filesystem. It’s one of the reasons why people choose Subversion instead.

cool, at least it was not something mundane that I was missing… I’ll shoot a mail to one of the java.net admins
thanks matzon!
