this is a longshort. There is a option for cvs update "-I" from the manual: -I ign More files to ignore (! to reset). See A.12.1 import options. I don't know if it works but it is a try.

I have a blazing 33.6K modem connection to the Internet. So when I do a cvs update of my copy of the boost tree, the mug shots (.jpg files) in the people subdirectory take quite a long time to be checked for differences. I don't really need to update those files so I am trying to get a .cvsignore file to work in the "people" subdirectory. (I realize these files may not change very often; still, I would appreciate knowing how to do a .cvsignore for boost libraries that I'm not using.) But I can't get cvs to recognize the .cvsignore file.
I created a .cvsignore file, with the line "*.jpg", in the people sub-directory. But when I run "cvs update" in the people sub-directory (after "cvs login") cvs gives me a "? .cvsignore" response and continues updating anyway. I thought maybe I have to "cvs add" the .cvsignore file, but that doesn't work.
How do I get cvs to "see" my .cvsignore file?
Thanks, Bill
