[vox-tech] CVS problem: .cvsignore is being ignored
Hi all, I have a file: foo.tex in CVS. I want to modify foo.tex on my local hard drive, but keep the repository copy as-is.

(jk) If .cvsignore is only intended to keep files out of the repository that are not already in it (this sounds possible), then it may have been a design decision (or merely an accidental consequence of the algorithm used) to pay it no heed in the updating of existing repository entries, but only in the initial commitment of new entries. I'm sure the docs must cover this somewhere. ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
