AFAIHU, simply doing a cvs info cvsignore should not contact the server, 
should it? According to cvs -H info it's identical to cvs info -c 
cvsignore which should only "describe the client" and I can tell that it 
does indeed not try to contact any server. Still, it always returns a 
list that, if halved, reveals two completely identical lists which both 
consist of the built-in ignore list and the contents of my local 
~/.cvsignore file as well as the contents of my CVSIGNORE variable if I 
set it.

Example:

c:\>cvs info cvsignore
. .. core RCSLOG tags TAGS RCS SCCS .make.state .nse_depinfo #* .#* 
cvslog.* ,* CVS CVS.adm .del-* *.a *.olb *.o *.obj *.so *.Z *~ *.old 
*.elc *.ln *.bak *.BAK *.orig *.rej *.exe *.dll *.pdb *.lib *.exp _$* *$ 
*.~* ~*.tmp *.md~ ~$*.* .#*.* *.$$$ *.bak *.dsk *.wbk *.cfg *.bk1 *.bk2 
*.sbm . .. core RCSLOG tags TAGS RCS SCCS .make.state .nse_depinfo #* 
.#* cvslog.* ,* CVS CVS.adm .del-* *.a *.olb *.o *.obj *.so *.Z *~ *.old 
*.elc *.ln *.bak *.BAK *.orig *.rej *.exe *.dll *.pdb *.lib *.exp _$* *$ 
*.~* ~*.tmp *.md~ ~$*.* .#*.* *.$$$ *.bak *.dsk *.wbk *.cfg *.bk1 *.bk2 
*.sbm

This is twice exactly the same list, including twice my local ignore list...

Cheers,
