Okay. Bit more investigation has been done.
Found sofar a good place to get the server's
$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvsignore: start_server() in client.c right after
we do connect_to_?server().
One thing though, Larry (*grin*), and that is:
what about :ext: protocols where to user is supposed to have a
login on the server?
If the server now only sends the Repository's cvsignore, whatever
the user has setup in his $HOME/.cvsignore will not be send to the
client. Is this wanted? Or should I rather go and make only changes
for GSSAPI, KERBEROS, and PSERVER?
What is the opinion on this?
Cheers,
Guus
