Re: [PATCH] Added maven.log, .project and .classpath into .cvsignore

[Alex Blewitt]

I think you could argue that in general, .log files are something which  
are generated by running programs (in much the same way that, say,  
file.o files are generated by the compiler) and something that you  
wouldn't want in a CVS server at all.

I also think that it's very unlikely that you'll want to keep a  
maven.log in a file anyway.

Of course, bear in mind that the Attic are  
there-was-a-log-but-we've-deleted-it-from-CVS anyway, so there's only  
really two log files, and both of those are in the 'examples' directory.

You might like to check with merlin, but if they're cruft they may want  
to delete them as well :-)

If you can convince the avalon-sandbox folks they don't need it, then  
we
could enable it globally.

maven.log is in cvs?  I agree with the others in this case.  My point
was rather than litter up the codebase with .cvsignores to simple use
globals.

Whats the global cvsignore?
CVSROOT/cvsignore
We can not add maven.log, .project, and .classpath to the global
.cvsignore when there are so many ,v files in the cvs repository for
files
with those names.
