No and yes. You don't need to check in .cvsignore files for them to work, but they only apply to local files that aren't under CVS control. AFAIK, the only way not to update in a directory is to not check out that directory or only update in subdirectories (e.g., boost/ and libs/)
You could delete the subdirectory from your CVS tree and then not supply "-d" when you update from the top. Of course, you may find yourself missing new directories as they are added if you don't use "-d"... -- David Abrahams dave@boost-consulting.com * http://www.boost-consulting.com Boost support, enhancements, training, and commercial distribution
