I was leaning towards the opposite, namely honouring the .cvsignore. It
shouldn't be too difficult either. As CVS is looking for the ancestor CVS admin
subdirectory, it should check to see if any ancestor directories is listed in
any of the .cvsignore files it finds. If any do, the "cvs add" should be
abandoned.
