Subject: comments in CVSROOT/cvsignore

  | Is there anyway to put comments in CVSROOT/cvsignore?  I tried '#' and it didn't
  | work.

See the default ignore pattern `ign_default' in src/ignore.c.
For example, `#*#' is used for a temporary backup file by emacs.
Therefore, we wish `#*' is ignored.

I propose:
   (A) `#' introduces a comment that
       continues to the end of the input line.
       It is prevented this special meaning when preceded by `\'.
   (B) `//' (or `/') introduces a comment.
