Description Jesse Glick 2005-05-12 19:35:42 UTC

See issue #58543. When the IDE behaves differently from command-line CVS, and
forces the user to perform manual workarounds such as editing ~/.cvsignore, this
is a bug in the IDE. Especially since editing ~/.cvsignore is not satisfactory -
that applies to *all* CVS checkouts, whereas you may have ignore lists which are
intentionally specific to only a certain CVS repository. For example,
cvs.netbeans.org currently ignores *.class - due to the existence of some old
modules which fail to use a build dir - yet other servers do not, and I would
not want to have *.class ignored for other checkouts, because stray *.class
files might really cause problems for them.

Comment 1 Maros Sandor 2005-05-13 09:17:06 UTC

Command line cvs does not consult CVSROOT/cvsignore either. It is the server
that does that. If a user creates a new file, e.g. File.class, we cannot
determine whether this file will be considered Ignored by the Update operation
until we actually perform it. That is why .class files are initially shown as
Local New. After an Update or Refresh operation, they are set as Ignored (in
EA3, bug fixed by the patch below). We may implement hack around this by
checking out CVSROOT/cvsignore first, cache and process it locally. However, not
all servers lets your check it out so this is tricky. Switching to enhancement.

Fixing refreshing status of files ignored on server:
