This is bad; many upstream sources, like the Linux kernel source, contain directories named 'core', and unless the "-I !" option is passed to cvs import, it'll ignore both files and directories named core. What would be nice (hence the wishlist severity :) would be if cvs would ignore files, but not directories, named core, by default. It really doesn't make much sense to ignore *directories* named core, does it? Ben -- Brought to you by the letters Y and G and the number 15. "I'm calling from the plane.
