Subject[CSOUND-DEV:5560] [OT] Excluding files from cvs checkout
Hi all,
Is there a way to exclude certain types of files from a fresh cvs 
checkout? I am updating my sources and it takes a very long time to 
download the .dll files which I will not use, since I have a dial-up 
connection.

Thanks,
Andrés

Hi Andres,

You can use a .cvsignore file.  I'm not sure quite what the rules are 
for it, as I use it within my IDE. 

On the other hand, IMO, there shouldn't really be so many binaries in 
the CVS.  Snapshots should probably be set up as releases or pushed to a 
web server (which is easy to automate, compared to the file release 
system in SourceForge), .dll's should be provided in releases but 
shouldn't be necessary for developers.  Other generated files like the 
.xmg files should be removed from CVS too. 

What's the rational behind all the binaries in the CVS?
