RE: [Boost-Users] .cvsignore - I'm stuck

This won't help with an initial checkout, but you could write a small script
like:

#this is to be run in the base directory
#update just the files in boost, don't recurse
cvs up -l
#now update the subdirectories you care about
cvs up boost
cvs up libs

Obviously, you'll need to put your own options in there.  If you need help
making a real script or batch file, let me know.
