this is a longshort. There is a option for cvs update "-I"
from the manual:
-I ign
More files to ignore (! to reset). See A.12.1 import options.

I don't know if it works but it is a try.

My best advice? Don't get fancy. Treat a new C++ feature just as you
would treat
a loaded automatic weapon in a crowded room. Never use it just because
it looks
nifty. Wait until you understand the consequences, don't get cute, write
what 
you know, and know what you write.
