$CVSIGNORE
----------

A whitespace-separated list of file names and wildcard patterns that CVS
should ignore.  (See also the -I option to the Note: import command.)

This variable is appended last to the ignore list during a command.  The
list is built up in this order: `CVSROOT/cvsignore', the `.cvsignore'
file in your home directory, the `$CVSIGNORE' variable, any -I command
option, and finally the contents of `.cvsignore' files in the working
copy used as CVS works in each directory.  A `!' as the ignore
specification at any point nullifies the entire ignore list built up to
that point.
