Thanks Daniel and Justin for the suggestions! I have a fix and will record my experience here for the benefit of anybody else facing this problem:
1. .cvsignore did not work. CVS may ignore the Lucene index directory, but it still insists on creating the CVS subdirectory of the index directory. 2. I didn't try the suggestion of defining an alias module with a CVS directory exclude (!) restriction. This might have worked had I limited all my CVS operations to just work with the alias module, but this would limit flexibility and remove a lot of the nice CVS integration features in the Netbeans ide. 3. Bernhard's patch solves the problem! I had a couple minor glitches installing it. First, there is a missing "throws IOException" declaration on the list(FileFilter) method he has added. Second, the patch is based on a newer version of FSDirectory than the version in 1.4.2, so my attempt to apply the patch automatically failed. Applying the patch manually and adding the throws declaration fixed all problems. I would like to suggest that Bernhard's patch be integrated into the next version of Lucene.
