Jesse,

I have just started tracking a VB.NET /ASP.NET application in cvs and I had
the same decision to make.  I excluded the following files from cvs control:

Web.config (this contains specific config info like DB access that differs
for each developer)

*.webinfo (this stores the IIS URL associated with the project which is also
different for each developer)

*.sln
*.suo
*.pdb

I excluded the above three types of files because they are derivable from
all of the other project files.

I added all five of these to the repository-wide cvsignore file so that they
are automatically ignored for imports and adds.  I created a separate
repository for the Web.config and *.webinfo files so that each developer
could check out a reasonable version of these files and copy them into their
development directory when they first checkout a project.

I have not used this setup in production yet so I am not sure how well it
will work yet.

Good luck,
Mark
