not-ignoring .exe files
I'm trying to stop CVS from ignoring .exe/.EXE files by default on import. I know I could include this on the command line whenver I import, which shouldn't be too often, but I also know that I'll simply fail to remember this when the time comes. So I took what I understood to be the list of things CVS ignores by default and put that in a new cvsignore file in the CVSROOT, checking it in and watching it update the administrative databases. At the very beginning of the file, I placed a !, hoping this would cause it to ignore all defaults. But, the .exe files are still being ignored. What should I do differently?

If you're using a local repository, that should work. If you're using client/server CVS, you're screwed -- currently, the client and the server each do their own ignore processing completely independently. That means that there's no way for a CVSROOT/cvsignore file to override the client's default ignore processing. Fixing this requires a significant amount of redesign and coding; someone was working on it, but I don't know what happened to that effort. -Larry Jones Mom would be a lot more fun if she was a little more gullible. -- Calvin ___ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
