I have just the opposite view. When I "cvs update" I don't like
seeing *any* output that looks to be an error message: especially one
such as "blah-blah-en?" because it looks as if CVS is confused. The
#1 kernel coding rule is this: "If you don't get a warning message,
you don't have to decide to ignore it."
Precisely why I suggested we leave it to document owners; there will
probably be just as many people for as against, and a lot who don't care
in the middle. I made a note on the wiki to ensure the Documentation
Guide will include notes on using .cvsignore files.
