du command to include history

I used du -hk to determine the file sizes on several projects in CVS for a developer i am supporting and he asked me to include history for these projects to get total file size.

Was du -hk correct to determine the total size?

---------- Post updated at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous update was at 07:50 AM ----------

sorry about the simplicity of the question... i cant seem to hash out what would include history on the directory

Would du -hk give me the total file size including the history is probably a better way to ask the question!

du -hk does give you the space used by a directory. He wants you to do du -hk on several directories I imagine.

Ask him what directory he uses for cvs -d [which directory goes here?]
He may also mean the file $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/history. It can get to be huge. I dunno. Ask him to define "history" for you.
