Tony, and others,

There is a slight inconsistency in the way that ignore and wrappers are done: 
Ignore can be set at repository ($CVSROOT/cvsignore), user (~/.cvsignore) and 
per-directory (/.cvsignore); wrappers can only be set at repository 
($CVSROOT/cvswrappers) and user (~/.cvswrappers).

Would it be a good idea of cvsnt could support per-directory (/.cvswrappers) 
wrapper files too? This would make importing code a bit more robust since the 
packager can then specify wraps around any special files.

(Tony: if a file is imported or added then committed with the wrong 
text/binary/unicode wrapper setting, is it always possible to repair the 
mistake through cvs admin, or are there some circumstances under which its in 
such a state that its effectively corrupted beyond recovery?)

Greetings from Lux,

David
