[cvsnt] cvs ignoring .dll files

[Chuck Kirschman]

It would be great if they were just ignored during an import.  If I do 
"cvs -nq update" in a directory with a few stray DLLs (not in CVS) in 
it, they don't appear with the ? as would say a .txt file that is not 
under CVS control.  Instead they are quietly ignored.  If I use the -I! 
(thanks David) it's much closer to what I want, so I'll just add that to 
my .cvsrc for update.

 >cvs -nq up
M FileSystemBrowser.cpp

 > cvs -nq up -I!
? FileSystemBrowser.AxSHDocVw.dll
? FileSystemBrowser.SHDocVw.dll
? FileSystemBrowser.Shell32.dll
M FileSystemBrowser.cpp

Thanks for the help
