Well, with a .cvsignore as managed file in the working dir, one can no
longer change this manually on a working-directory basis. I can add
filenames to .cvsignore, but then a cvs diff shows me the changes to
the .cvsignore file. I can add things into ~/.cvsignore, but then they
are used for all cvs-checkouts.
What about addings those items to CVSROOT/cvsignore? That would have
the disadvantage of also applying to the subdirectories, but would at
least be limited to this project. (And when I read cvs(5) correctly,
should have no other side-effects)
