I think that .cvsblock is silly; the tiny semantics difference between that and .cvsignore is not worth it. The cvs add command should ignore things that match .cvsignore, period. Those who disagree: what part of ``cvs'' and ``ignore'' isn't clear? An interactive error would be a reasonable compromise. The software notices that the user requested to add files which match the .cvsignore specification, and so brings up a menu: add this file anyway, skip it, apply this action to all the rest. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
