That's not what .cvsignore is used for. The .cvsignore file is used to list 
work/scratch files that may be in your local directory which you don't want 
cvs to list during the "cvs update" command with a "?" (unknown) status. 
Usually files/directories created as a part of the build process are listed 
there. The only way I know to ignore directories in the repository that 
aren't in your local work directory is to avoid putting the -d option in 
your cvs update command (or in .cvsrc). Unfortunately, that causes cvs 
update to ignore *all* new directories, including those that you do want to 
get.

I'm not aware of a simple way to do what you want (not to say there isn't 
one, but I don't recall it if there is).
