hi,
In my project, somone checked in a folder called build. This folder should not have been checked into cvs in the first place - and so someone else put that 'build' into the appropriate .cvsignore file. But now, when we use Eclipse, the build folder and all its contents show up as needing to be added. When using cmd line cvs, this does not seem to happen. Can this be fixed soon?

The issue is more comlicated than that. In order to perform synchronizations efficiently, we need to keep track of all folders in a project regardless of whether they exist localy or not. This causes some inconsistenciew with the command line behavior.

In your case, it sounds like the build directlry should never have been created so you can solve the problem by deleting the directory from the server.
