I disagree. If I say 'cvs add * in a directory, I surely don't want to pick up
extra files, like vim's .swp, and ~ files,
or maybe .bak files, or whatever. If I *wanted* to pick up a file like this,
there should be an option, like '--force'.
Perhaps there should be another file called '.cvsblock' that filters files on
the client side?
