I checked with an anonymous CVS account, and have nothing related to HTML files in my $HOME/.cvsignore. I now realize that these files are not ignored when being authenticated, so this behaviour is surely due to the configuration of anonymous CVS account. Anyway I still believe it would be confusing if remove_stale.pl do ignore files listed under .cvsignore files. Denis
