Got large data file in project that I've imported to the repository

from repository local copy doesn't change either.
Not easy. Anyone can commit new revisions.
What you should do (should have done) is import the file under
a different name, that makes it clear that it is a template for the
tests. Developers would have to copy the template file to the correct
filename before running their tests. Since the copied file is not
in CVS, they can make any change they want.
If it's early enough in the game, the path of least resistance is
to rename the ,v file in the repository --but that breaks any
checked out sandbox, so people should check out new ones and
delete the old.
Now, I know that I
can accomplish later trough putting this file name in .cvsignore file,
but is there some more proper way and further how to accomplish
first.
Actually, no. Files listed in CVS/Entries are never ignored.
