Re: cvs2svn: Excluding CVS folders

These are CVS workspace folders, created by CVS.  They shouldn't have
anything to do with Intelli J -- nobody here uses Intelli J.  As I
said in my initial post, they exist across all projects in all repos
I've looked at so far (Java, .NET, Delphi, C/C++, etc.), including
some of my own.

Again, as I posted initially, I was already doing this copy/delete
step.  But I have dozens of repos, many very large, and so was trying
to avoid it.  I've done so by patching the cvs2svn code to provide the
option of ignoring CVS dirs, and thought perhaps others might benefit
from the patch.  However from what I'm hearing (which affirms what I
originally believed) these CVS dirs shouldn't be checked in at all.
The mystery for me is how it happened here on such a large scale.

Are you saying you've had CVS directories checked in to your repos too?
