Aside: you copied files out of a CVS sandbox, where CVS was giving you
a nice safety net ?

Sombody else added and committed a .cvsignore file while you
weren't looking. The .cvsignore file you copied to your
sandbox now conflicts with it.

Yep. Somebody else beat you to it.
How to get out:
mv .cvsignore my-new-cvsignore
cvs update
The update will bring in the other guy's .cvsignore . Look at
it and decide if it is better than your own. If you decide
that no, you would rather replace it by your own file, just
do so.
mv my-new-cvsignore .cvsignore
cvs diff
cvs commit
