When you add a project to the repository (i.e, import it as a new module), CVS automatically generates a .cvsignore with dist and build. Although that's nice, it would be even better if the user could confirm what should be imported or not (i.e, there should be an intermediate dialog listening all files with checkbox on what should be exclude; by default, it would exclude dist and build). This would be useful, for instance, when the build generates other garbage, like velocity's log files (some maven scripts does that a lot) or some other temporary directory.
Got hit! Tomas is just implementing it for upcoming Subversion support :-). To be backported to CVS.
