[Biojava-dev] Message to developers with CVS accounts

[Mark Schreiber]

Dear all -

When committing to CVS please don't include the following files and
directories:

.cvsignore
nbproject/
reports/
dist/
docs/
ant-build/

These files are generated on your machine by ant and by the netbeans IDE.
They don't need to be in CVS and can cause all kinds of conflicts when they
are. They are most frequently checked in by IDEs that support CVS (esp
Netbeans). If Netbeans tells you you need to check in one of these files
cause it is new tell it to ignore them. They will be added to your
.cvsignore and ignored in future. Remember your .cvsignore is specific to
your distribution and doesn't need to be in CVS either and could cause a
conflict if you check it in.

Don't do it!!

- Mark
