If you want to picky about CVS subdirectories, then I'm
afraid you'll have to use the picky version of the makefile
code:

MyApp_RESOURCE_DIRS = Some.gorm
MyApp_RESOURCE_FILES = \
  Some.gorm/data.classes \
  Some.gorm/objects.gorm

that will make sure that the CVS directories are ignored,
and in theory is the proper way to use a .gorm dir.

The code you are using is Ok for copying recursively the
.gorm directory, including any content, regardless ... 
that includes CVS subdirs.

It doesn't sound practical to ignore CVS subdirs when
a full recursive copy is asked.  In some cases the CVS
subdirs are needed btw, which makes it even more confusing
because you'd need a switch to turn the filtering out of
CVS subdirs on and off.

Btw, CVS subdirs are usually very small, and they don't do
much harm, so I guess it's not a big problem to have them
there.

But if you really don't want them, please use the makefile
code shown above. :-)

Summary:  Copying application resource should ignore CVS

Original Submission:  When I specify:
MyApp_RESOURCE_FILES = Some.gorm
Whole .gorm directory will be copied into application Resources directory. 
However, i think that CVS subdirectories should be ignored. 

Is it possible to completely ignore the CVS subdirs? What if someone will have 
CVS directory?
