AFAIHU, simply doing a cvs info cvsignore should not contact the server, should it? According to cvs -H info it's identical to cvs info -c cvsignore which should only "describe the client" and I can tell that it does indeed not try to contact any server. Still, it always returns a list that, if halved, reveals two completely identical lists which both consist of the built-in ignore list and the contents of my local ~/.cvsignore file as well as the contents of my CVSIGNORE variable if I set it. Example: c:\>cvs info cvsignore . .. core RCSLOG tags TAGS RCS SCCS .make.state .nse_depinfo #* .#* cvslog.* ,* CVS CVS.adm .del-* *.a *.olb *.o *.obj *.so *.Z *~ *.old *.elc *.ln *.bak *.BAK *.orig *.rej *.exe *.dll *.pdb *.lib *.exp _$* *$ *.~* ~*.tmp *.md~ ~$*.* .#*.* *.$$$ *.bak *.dsk *.wbk *.cfg *.bk1 *.bk2 *.sbm . .. core RCSLOG tags TAGS RCS SCCS .make.state .nse_depinfo #* .#* cvslog.* ,* CVS CVS.adm .del-* *.a *.olb *.o *.obj *.so *.Z *~ *.old *.elc *.ln *.bak *.BAK *.orig *.rej *.exe *.dll *.pdb *.lib *.exp _$* *$ *.~* ~*.tmp *.md~ ~$*.* .#*.* *.$$$ *.bak *.dsk *.wbk *.cfg *.bk1 *.bk2 *.sbm This is twice exactly the same list, including twice my local ignore list...
