Problem with cvsignore and pserver

[Sevy, Jonathan (Jon)]

We're using cvs via pserver to maintain a repository with source which contains several directories named "core". I'm trying to import without these being ignored, so I modified the CVSROOT/cvsignore file to be:

 

!
RCS     SCCS    CVS     CVS.adm    .svn
RCSLOG  cvslog.*
tags    TAGS
.make.state     .nse_depinfo
*~      #*      .#*     ,*      _$*     *$
*.old   *.bak   *.BAK   *.orig  *.rej   .del-*
*.a     *.olb   *.o     *.obj   *.so    *.exe    *.ko
*.Z     *.elc   *.ln

 

I did the checkout-checkin method in modifying cvsignore, and got the expected "rebuilding administrative database" message on checkin, but the core directories and their contents are still ignored. I've checked to make sure there are no intervening .cvsignore files in home directories or the like.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

  \

  Jon
