[cvsnt] Directory Being Excluded based on it's name

[Merrill Cornish]

Bo,

Tony would, as always, have the autoritative answer, but CVS might not fully distinguish between folder named "core" and a file named "core".  

The reason is that Unix throws filename and directory names into the same namespace.  Therefore, a directory cannot have both a subdirectory and a file with the same name.  CVS may be taking the simple-monded view that "core" means "core" regardless of the type of directory entry.  This would be yet another example of tacit assumptions of Unix users versus Windows users. Maybe.
