The MakeAppWorkDir script has an option "--cvsignore" that creates appropriate .cvsignore files, so that for instance the Cache directory will be ignored when you store the created directory in a CVS repository. I think that is a usable feature, but many developers and Webware itself have moved to SVN meanwhile, where .cvsignore is not used. Unfortunately, SVN does not provide .svnignore files; you can only set it as a property of the directory. And to do this, the directory must be already versioned.

What do you think about the following: Let MakeAppWorkDir not only create the work dir, but optionally already import it into a CVS/SVN repository. The following options could be provided:
--cvs projectname
--svn url
If you set this option, the WorkDir will be created and automatically imported into a repository using the specified repository project name with "cvs import projectname" resp. using the url with "svn import url". In the case of cvs, .cvsignore files will be created, and in the case of svn, the corresponding svn propset commands will be issued.
