>Description:
        In our use of cvs it would be handy to be able to have a
        .cvsignore file be able to include one or more files. These
        additional files would be more ignores (which could have
        includes) that apply to a set of directories but were not
        global to the tree.

        We did this in our clearcase area using this syntax

        #include ../../CtIgnore.tests.common
        #include ../CtIgnore.deci.tests.common

        Allowing this would save editing many files when a new ignore is
        necessary. 
        

>How-To-Repeat:
        N/A
>Fix:
        New switch that disables cvsignore file processing
