Cvsignore tells cvs to, well, ignore non-cvs files and suppress the "?
filename" message when you update, checkin, etc.  If you have a file that
matches cvsignore but is in fact a cvs file, then CVS still update / commits
it.

To 'hide' files from a sandbox, you should look at the modules file.  It
lets you define virtual modules that point to real ones, but can be
assembled differently.  Not a very good explanation perhaps, but I hope you
understand :)
