Hi Joe,

See the "svn:ignore" section of the following link for an explanation  
of how this is handled in SVN.  The ultra-brief summary is that you  
set the "svn:ignore" property on the relevant directories to a  
pattern that includes the files to be ignored.

The cvsignore file should be simple enough for us to import as the  
corresponding property.
