Why wont CVS ignore my XCode build directories?
Try checking ~/.cvsignore into your CVSROOT as 'cvsignore'.
One of the absolutely most brilliantest features EVER of CVS is that it
treats the files in CVSROOT and config files in your home account
*differently* depending on how you access the repository. But what
makes it even so much cooler is that it will treat said configuration
files differently depending on which CVS subcommand you invoke.
To ensure consistent behavior, working or otherwise, when using CVS,
make sure that you:
- mirror both cvswrappers and cvsignore in both CVSROOT and ~/ [as dot
files in the latter, of course]
- always access your repository via the same protocol (i.e. don't
access the repos via local filesystem if you normally use ssh)
If it still doesn't work, try running CVS with tracing enabled and see
why/where it is deciding to skip or override your cvsignore config.
Outside of that, if your cvsignore is not ascii -- say, UTF-16 -- CVS
will likely silently barf on the zero bytes
