The phantom of Aux directory in fptools/libraries/fgl/src/Data/Graph/Inductive

[kyra]

Yes, now I'm using exactly these options: -Pd.

Once I deliberately observed a cvs handling of '-P' option: first, during
update it creates all empty directories, then, AFTER an update is complete,
it prunes them away.

IMHO, cvs aborts trying to create 'Aux' subdir at the first stage, it simply
does not arrive at prune stage.

Cheers,
Kyra
