Actually this isn't a bug, the problem has nothing to do with glob2 and is actually caused by CVS. The game is set up to have different directories to store maps in for organization. This way you can differentiate between your personal maps, maps from YOG, default maps, etc. The problem is when you download via CVS it creates a CVS folder within each sub-folder in order to store the CVS data, this includes the map directory. The game can't tell the difference and so it treats it as any other directory that could potentially have a map in it even though there isn't a map there and never will be (unless for some strange reason you intentionally did so). The only way to really correct the "problem" is to not use CVS but that of course is foolish if your working on the source code in any way. I think trying to "fix" this would be foolish, I mean who would want to clutter up the code with something that would end up being a bug later when it isn't really a problem now? I mean the chances that a non-developer would use a directory named CVS as part of their map organization is low but you know if enough people play the game eventually someone will want to and of course they can't so it gets reported onto the bug tracker and has to be taken out again.

When downloading CVS, the CVS directory shows in the selection box on the campaign, custom game, yog create game, map editor load, in map editor load, and in map editor save screens. Is there anyway to tell it not to display the folder CVS?
