Hello!
I am asking, because I am using eclipse to manage various cvs projects and eclipse always creates a project file which I do not want to commit. So I put it into .cvsignore, but then eclipse tells me, that my .cvsignore file is different from the one in the repository. So I put a line containing ".cvsignore" to my .cvsignore file. But then eclipse still tells me, that my local copy is not in sync with the mint repository.
Yes, because if a file is part of the repository this overwrite any .cvsignore setting.
So what am I supposed to do? The .cvsignore file, does it have to be part of the repository or should one line in that file be ".cvsignore" so that the file is always ignored? So how is it done properly?
You should commit your modifications to the .cvsignore file or you must live with the fact that cvs report that the .cvsignore is modified (that is for sure true :-)).
