Package: cvs
Version: 1:1.12.9-1
Severity: normal
According to documentation and 'cvs -H update', the '-I foo' sub-option
to update is supposed to ignore 'foo'.
Yet I just ran "cvs up -I libstdc++-v3", and it updated all the directories,
including the only one I wanted it to ignore, creating a shitload of
conflicts. (Which is why I wanted to skip it.)
This used to work, but the last time I used cvs on this system was with 1.11.

Hi,
cvs operates on files, not on directories; -I has the same effect
as placing a .cvsignore file into the directory according to the
Cederqvist.
So your solution would have been:
$ cvs up !(libstdc++-v3)
Using a Korn Shell, to glob out the subdir to ignore.
bye,
