It would be great if they were just ignored during an import. If I do "cvs -nq update" in a directory with a few stray DLLs (not in CVS) in it, they don't appear with the ? as would say a .txt file that is not under CVS control. Instead they are quietly ignored. If I use the -I! (thanks David) it's much closer to what I want, so I'll just add that to my .cvsrc for update. >cvs -nq up M FileSystemBrowser.cpp > cvs -nq up -I! ? FileSystemBrowser.AxSHDocVw.dll ?
