Description Natanael Copa 2007-01-24 11:36:05 UTC

Directories will by design never be removed with qmerge -U. The reason is that the dirs are listed first and will practically always contain files.

The dirs should be removed after files and they should be removed in reverse order (so /path/to/directory are removed before /path/to and /path)

Removes dirs in reverse order after everything else.
Patch is against latest cvs.

Thanks again.

Renamed tmp to list and committed the patch (untested).
qmerge still needs lots of love and maybe a rewrite. If you want to 
take a stab at a rdep resolver function that would be greatly appreciated.
