           Summary: gideon deleted all files in project when removing one
                    file from cvs
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: helen_ml_faulkner at yahoo.co.uk


Version:           3.0.0a4 (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:          Linux

I was using the automake manager to remove a file from my gideon project.  I checked the box to say "remove from hard drive too" (something like that), and then said "yes" to the dialog box question about removing the file from the cvs repository.   But it didn't just remove the one file, it removed almost everything in the project directory (presumably ignoring the things in .cvsignore, though it also removed that.  It also tried to remove all those files from the cvs repository, though I had the sense not to commit the changes, so didn't lost that stuff.  

gideon has now done this to me twice.  The first time I just assumed I must have said yes to something stupid.  The second time I watched what I did very carefully and it has done the same thing.  So I believe there is a problem if you choose the "remove this file from the hard drive" option in the "remove file from project" dialog box.   I think this one should be reproducible, though I'm not going to keep experiementing with it because it has stressed me enough for one day!
