Thanks, this explains a lot, I didn't notice that line, like
explanation would still be needed as you already committed changes for
this. :-)

Anyway, I'm wondering why no ".cvsignore" files are used in
debian-www's repository.  For example listing
"pseudo-packages.description" in "english/Bugs/.cvsignore" would be
very normal usage of ".cvsignore" files.  Is it okay if I commit this
and a couple of more .cvsignores in another directories?

pseudo-packages.description in english/Bugs/.cvsignore,

lists.cfg, subscribe.wml and unsubscribe.wml
in english/MailingLists/.cvsignore,

people.names in english/devel/.cvsignore

and card.ps.gz in english/devel/misc/.cvsignore

Of course it's not too bad seeing a couple of lines starting with
questing mark in every cvs update, but it just not "the best way",
IMHO.
