I was under the impression that front ends have no access to what's under CVSROOT. But then, I also have no clue about the internal workings of CVS as far as "ignored files" are concerned. To that end, I'd say that the CVS doc I've quoted in my initial posting is rather misleading. I kind-of understood, that CVS maintains an "ignored" list, that it shares with its clients. H.
