My last response was a question and not 
an authoritative answer.  I'm basically 
just a beginner at all of this.

Since then I have done some research. 
As a matter of fact the .cvsignore 
files, that show up if you use the ls -a 
command, have nothing to do with the way 
CVSup works! (Answered my own question I 
guess)

I think the FreeBSD Handbook and the man 
pages, man 1 cvsup, explain everything 
really well. (Just lookeed at them for 
the 1st time myself)

Thanks for your question.  It has 
inspired me to start using CVSup.

Best Wishes,
