See "The administrative files".

>From the link you reference above, please note the bullet list which
attempts to answer the question with regard to adding patterns to
ignore. This one in particular mentions it works to modify behavior
for the entire repository:
"The per-repository list in '$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvsignore' is appended
to the list, if that file exists."
If you checkout the CVSROOT, there is a cvsignore file there that
controls repository-wide ignore policy. Add a line with *.so into
it.
