Enhancement requests

Hi all.

There are two enhancements I would like to see, both connected with 
the stuff it ignores on import and update:

 1. cvs already ignores *.Z archives, so can it also be set to ignore
    *.bz2 and *.gz archives as well.

 2. Can CVS be 'trained' to differentiate between directories and
    files for the various ignore entries? One obvious way to me would
    be to say that if the entry in the list of files to ignore ends 
    with a / then that refers to a directory to be ignored, and any
    entry not ending with this character refers to a file. This would
    mean that to ignore something as both, it would need to be entered 
    twice, once in each format.

    I will add that on looking at ignore.c I get the impression that
    something along these lines has already been a\dded, but just 
    doesn't work.

Comments anybody?

Best wishes from Riley.
