I'm not following this. Could you describe in one sentence an
'ignore' feature you get with CVS that you don't get with Subversion?
An example would help a lot here.

It was marked as invalid because we prefer to discuss issues here
before filing them. See http://subversion.tigris.org/project_issues.html
