The cvsignore is mainly used during import, so for the few times you do 
that using -I! is enough.  Once a file is added to CVS the cvsignore 
doesn't apply.

The default cvsignore is:
. .. 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 _$* *$

You can just specify the ones that you need on the command line.

Creating a systemwide cvsignore will override these globally, so that's 
an option if you do import a lot.
