Ain't that always the way.

I assume by hairy you are applying a dab of understatement. I did have a
look into the import code, but I ran away terribly quickly... although... in
import_descend(), there is a call to ign_add_file (CVSDOTIGNORE, 1); so if
that call was disabled (though my much hoped for -I@ to ignore all and
.cvsignore), wouldn't that have the effect of ignoring any .cvsignore files
as the import descends... or am I barking up the wrong tree?
