Ignoring directories in CVS? [message #285631]

Is there an easy way to ignore directories (and their subdirs) using cvs in
Eclipse? I want to exclude all files under /bin and /obj dir and subdirs.
I have tried cvsignore and the window->preferences->team->ignored resources
settings and have been unsuccessful.

Thanks

It sounds like the directory has been committed at least once. If it has
never been committed, then you can put it into the .cvsignore file and
it will be ignored. But once committed the .cvsignore is ignored.

Would it help in that situation if the committed directories/files were
manually removed from the CVS repository? I've always wondered about
that but never bothered to experiment...

You didn't hear it from me :-) but that can work. It will remove all
history. It is technically not recommended to physically change CVS
repository.

Well yeah, but when you're in that situation there is no other option to
get the files ignored besides cloning the rest of the module, which is
more work.

Besides, we all flash a guilty small or eye-shift when hearing the "you
really shouldn't do that to the CVS repository" recommendations, 'cause
we've all done them at some point or another...
