Of course, a user can always use "cvs add" and "cvs remove" to add or remove

to do this for some of the files.

This is one of those things that might work really well, but only for certain development models. For instance, I am using a GUI based tool. It likes to create lots of files that may or may not need to be archived. I have experimentally determined that if I archive a certain set of them, then there seems to be no problems. Do I want CVS to pester me about the ones I'm not archiving every time I do a commit in that directory? No way!

And just think what would happen if you inadvertently did your CVS commit without making clean first...

        Nannyware sucks.

Optional nannying? Hmmm - doesn't the nannyware model *require* that the nagging not be optional?
