Fix find command syntax for CVS directory removal

Commit 027aa1d2ec07402d9aa1df3825207f120acae497 stops CVS directories from being removed in the target filesystem. The attached patch fixes the problem, which is caused by the incorrect use of the find command.

Why in the first place do we have CVS files in the filesystem ? Isn't that a left-over from old Buildroot times ?
Comment 2 Will Newton 2009-08-07 16:14:53 UTC
I'm not aware of the original reason, but it's useful for people that import buildroot into local CVS or Subversion repos. This is quite common in corporate environments unfortunately.
Comment 3 Thomas Petazzoni 2009-08-07 17:14:08 UTC
Ok, fair enough. Could you attach a patch with the proper formatting (e-mail address, signed-off-by, etc.), as you did in https://bugs.busybox.net/attachment.cgi?id=581 ?

Thanks.
