Re: Make cvs ignore some changes in files

[Christian Andersson]

Thank you Fredric Brehm and Larry Jones, I'v now got an answer to my 
question qithout any flamewar *smiles*

I've now got to modifie the generator so that it does  not generate the 
files unless it needs to, that would also solve my problem, but it will 
take some time to do it, but thank you for answering my question...
