Description Thomas Klaeger CLA 2004-12-02 08:47:28 EST 
In my workspace I have directories like the tomcat working directory.

I added this directory to the .cvsignore file of its parent directory, thereby 
telling CVS that I don't want this directory under version control.

However within the "CVS Synchronize"-View Eclipse offers to add (temporary) 
files contained within this directory for adding to the CVS repository.

IMHO Eclipe should check the .cvsignore-file and, if it contains a directory 
name, ignore the directory and all files and directories contained within.
Comment 1 Michael Valenta CLA 2004-12-02 09:22:25 EST 
Does the directory being ignored exist in the repository? To find out, expand 
the project in the repository explorer.
Comment 2 Thomas Klaeger CLA 2004-12-02 10:20:54 EST 
The directory does not exist in the repository (checked with the repository 
explorer and also through file system access to the cvs repository)
Comment 3 Michael Valenta CLA 2004-12-02 10:31:06 EST 
Is an ANT builder (or some other builder) copying files to the directory?
Comment 4 Thomas Klaeger CLA 2004-12-02 11:11:49 EST 
Yes, there is an ANT builder creating the directory and creating files within it 
(merging file fragments)
