Actually, there are a number of files that CVS will automatically ignore.
"*.o" and "core" are among them, so you do not have to add that to the
.cvsignore file in every directory you are compiling code in.
There is a wonderful CVS Manual that is distributed with the CVS
distribution but comes in the Postscript format. A better place to read
it is on the web at http://cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs.html where you have
links to the directories of the manual itself.
