.cvsignore Files. The purpose of a .cvsignore file is to tell CVS which files in the directory containing it are to be ignored by CVS operations such as commit. GLAST packages normally contain two .cvsignore files: one in the package root directory, and one in the cmt directory. The .cvsignore file in the cmt directory should look something like this:

*.make
*.sh
*.csh
Makefile
setup.*
NMake
*.bat

The .cvsignore file in the root directory should exclude all binary subdirectories. A typical example (as of November, 2004) looks like this:

Linux-i686
i386_linux*
rh*
msdev
Win32*
Visual
VC*
