Yes, this is the only way right now. And I thought that's exactly how
CVS does it as well... you have to carefully arrange and prepare your
import tree.
AFAIK, the .cvsignore file doesn't filter imports in CVS, does it?
I've never heard of that. I thought it behaved exactly like the
svn:ignore property.
If you can think of a good UI design, maybe we can file a feature
request?
