050415 build. I got a status window on /space/src/r41/ant. I got a bunch of entries marked "Local New" such as /space/src/r41/ant/manifest.mf.~1.75~ (results of old CVS updates). But such entries (e.g. *~) should be ignored by default; I think they are at least listed on the server in CVSROOT/cvsignore (not sure). Clicking Refresh does not remove these entries. Running command-line cvs -q -n up does not mention these files (which is correct), nor does M-x cvs-quickdir in Emacs using PCL-CVS. Even more annoyingly, status on the project /space/src/r41/nbbuild/misc shows dozens of *.class entries as Local New if nbbuild/antsrc has been built, which would completely hide actual added entries. (The trunk version of nbbuild compiles to a separate directory, so you need to use the release41 version to see the effect.) Marking P2 since the problem is pretty visible and could be a significant blocker for daily use.
(EA3) CVSlite will now more or less follow https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.20/cvs_18.html#SEC180 algorithm. However, since CVSlite does not consult server's ignore list, you have to include any non-standard file patterns (*.class) into your ~/.cvsignore file.
