Not quite -- the way it works locally (which is the usual benchmark for
what "do it right" means) is that you start with the default ignore
list, then you apply the repository's cvsignore (which, in c/s mode
requires getting it from the server which the client currently doesn't
do), then you apply the user's ~/.cvsignore, then you apply the -I
option(s) from the command line (if the command has a -I option), and
finally you apply the .cvsignore file from the current directory. And
of these can override what came before.
