Hello,
This is a major annoyance given the way my project is setup. For whatever
reason, a bunch of files get copied around in my project tree. Eclipse
sees these as new files (obviously), but the problem is when I do a Team ->
Commit at the project root, Eclipse wants to add/commit all those "new"
files.
How can I setup Eclipse to only commit new files that I have manually added
to CVS myself?
Thanks for the help,
-- Christopher

The problem is that Eclipse can't read your mind and doesn't know the
difference between files that were generated and ones that you "meant"
to create.
As someone already pointed out, .cvsignore is often used to keep
specific files and directories from CVS's attention.
I will also recommend that you use the Synchronize feature instead of
just Commit - the Synchronize view will allow you to preview all
potential changes and pick-and-choose which ones you want to actually
commit.
Hope this helps,
Eric
