Hmm, do you mean "a semicolon separated list of files that contain
lists of files to ingore"? There already is the envvar CVSIGNORE that
contains a list of files to ingore.
Yes, that would be a good thing, and it would be a compatible
extension. It would be harder to implement and I don't need it.
Which files are ignored is not a critical thing. I don't need to be
in sync with the .cvsignore from the repo.
Why semicolons? I think the standard thing is to use colons for
separating filenames in environment variables.

Yeah, but I first want to play with it a bit and see whether it really
works out.
Ok, I'm now going to remove generated files from the repo, sometime in
the next days. I wont touch ".cvsignore" at all.
