that's not how i would have expected it to work. if i specifically set it to
ignore, say, everything that matches 'CVS', then it shouldn't add anything that
matches 'CVS' unless i explicitly override it. isn't that what svn:ignore is
for? if not, what use is it, and is there some other way to filter a large set
of files other than writing my own script?
thanks,
