See http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs/doc/cvs_18.html#SEC170
Make sure you checkout cvsignore to alter it, then commit. Don't do it in
the repository.
I found it works real neat if you put a .cvsignore file in each directory.
Add the .cvsignore file itself to CVS. This is good where, for example, a
makefile works by creating temporary targets (e.g. "touch .made-core") and
you don't want to see these in CVS listings.
I couldn't get all this to work at first, but then I noticed the manual
CLEARLY SAYS to use 'sh' expressions rather than regular expressions. RTFM -
Doh! Now it's OK.
