I wasn't around when the decision was made, but the ! clears the ignore
list whenever it appears, with a specified order for filling the list:
defaults, $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvsignore, ~/.cvsignore, -I argument, per-dir
.cvsignore files.
Some argument might be made that -I should override per-directory
settings, but this is the way things have worked for a long time, so a
new option would probably be needed (or a new way of formatting
arguments to -I) to change it and maintain backwards compatibility.
Cheers,
Derek
