If I have distfiles/.cvsignore and packages/.cvsignore -- each contains
a line with just '*' -- 'cvs update' on pkgsrc complains that there's a
conflict and I should move my files away. If I delete them, the exact
same file is recreated by the update process, and the next update
returns to the original message. Is there anything that can or should
be done about this? (If it matters, I'm running -current.)
