No, there is no way to ignore changes
made to shared files. There is a Remove from View in the Synchronize view
but it is not as strong as what you are asking for.

Subject	Re: [platform-cvs-dev] .cvsignore not working

I looked into this issue a little more and looks like
I had a fundamentally wrong assumption of what ".cvsignore" does.
I thought .cvsignore tells cvs to ignore local files regardless of whether
or not they are checked into the repository. From what I now understand,
cvs can only ignore local files/directories that are not checked into the
repository (such as, typically, .class files or object files) 

Sorry if this has now gone off topic, but is there a way to do what I'm
suggesting? That is, locally ignore files which are checked into the repository?
Preferably these files don't show up in synchronizations and are not decorated.

Thanks -

Noah

Noah, 

The problem is specific to folders that exist on the server but are empty
and is only an issue pruning (-P) is enable. In this scenario, the command
line client will ignore locally created folders even if the folder also
exists remotely. However, in Eclipse, we encounted a performance issue
when synchronizing projects that contained a large number of empty folders.
To address the performance issue, we had to keep track of these empty folders.
However, this led to the situation where recreating one of these folders
in Eclipse will detect that the folder also exists in the repository and
will therefore not be ignored. I am sure tat a workaround is possible but
we do not have the manpower to address the issue.

P.S. If the problem you are seeing does not involve the recreation of folders
that also exist in the repository, then you may have discovered a different
problem.

Subject	[platform-cvs-dev] .cvsignore not working

I have a feeling that this is a bug/issue that has
been looming for
awhile, but am trying to get a sense for what the current state is on
it.

Basically, I believe the bug I'm referring to is this one:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=79869

More specifically, cvs files added to the .cvsignore file are not
ignored as I expected they would be. The files you requested to be
ignored still appear in your sync view and still have delta
decorators. Whether this is by design, or due to some core cvs server
flaw, or just a bug that's not a huge priority I can't tell, but it's
been around a long while.

Can some one shed some light on this bug? Why it appears, whether it's
in the queue for a fix or not, and/or whether there's a workaround?

Many thanks -

Noah
