reopen 210969 thanks, Hi Thorsten,
Whilst it may be repository data, secondly. It is *primarily* repository metadata since it causes files within a working directory to not be considered by the CVS program. Therefore it should not be exported for that reason. That said, I do not think anyone is seriously using (or developing) CVS anymore. So you should just mark this as wontfix.
