[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
