It describes the client view of the cvsignore list (compared to the server view, which -s give you - it just happends that for cvsignore/cvswrappers they're often identical - the different really only matters for the protocols), but if you're in a sandbox at the time it'll contact the server so it gets a complete view of the list. If you run it outside the sandbox (without a CVSROOT set) it'll give just the data available to it which is just the local settings. Tony
