Hi.

What are the files that you can use to get CVSup to ignore a directory ?
Is it .cvsignore in the directory ?

I'd like this to preserve some changes I've made to certain files, which
I'm aware that I will have to hand-modify if they change, or patch.

Also, is there any way to place a file in a directory and tell make
not to do anything in it (something like a .makeignore) ?

I'd like this to prevent a make world from building and installing
sendmail, because I have my own hacked version installed. I could
of course just edit the makefile in /usr/src/usr.sbin/ and remove
sendmail, but I was hoping for a more elegant approach.
