I've seen this mentioned in a few places as well but can't find any
patches or hacks to fix it. Personally I can't think of many cases that
the current behaviour is useful. Maybe this should be a request for
change rather than a bug report...
If I have a tree such as
MyModule/sourcefiles
MyModule/compiledfiles
And in CVSROOT/modules I have a line:
MyModule_export -a !MyModule/sourcefiles MyModule
By executing:
cvs checkout MyModule_export
I get just the MyModule/compiledfiles directory as expected.
However, if I then do:
cvs update -d
then MyModule/sourcefiles is retrieved from the repository. It makes
more sense to me to keep this directory excluded. I know I can leave
off "-d" but in the environment I'm using this (updating a live web
server with the latest files from the CVS repository) this isn't
acceptable.
Tests were carried out on latest version downloaded from the CVS
repository, 17:30 GMT on Feb 25th.
