I removed the entire docs tree, which is what the ant build script does on a full build. Eclipse synchronize ignores the docs directory when it is not present. Eclipse also ignores entire directory trees if the top level is in .cvsignore and the tree is not in CVS. So far, so good. But if I create and populate the docs directory, the synchronize process picks up everything under docs. The difference is that docs is in CVS; Eclipse does not ignore CVS in this case. Now I thought .cvsignore files only applied to the current directory, so that there is a case for saying that Eclipse should check CVS for sub-directories? I'm confused!
