Question about .cvsignore and deleted files |

Greetings, all.
I've got a question about .cvsignore and previously-deleted files. (This
is independent of the other thread discussing possible additions to the
default .cvsignore file.)
In the module I'm working on, there is a file called productInfo.cc. This
file used to be in the CVS repository, but since it's generated anew by an
awk script during the build process, I `cvs remove'd it. However, the fact
that there's a new file with the same name as a previously-deleted file
causes CVS to generate annoying little warnings. For instance:
[rccpc:~/it7dev/it7V2.02/it7/src/server/umServer]$ cvs -n update
cvs update: Updating .
M It7UmAccum.cc
M It7UmAccum.h
...
...
A environment-notes.txt
M main.cc
cvs update: use `cvs add' to create an entry for productInfo.cc
I added productInfo.cc to the .cvsignore file in this local directory, but
that didn't seem to have any effect. (Other files in my .cvsignore are, in
fact, ignored, so I did *that* part correctly, at least.)
These warnings aren't really that serious a problem, but I'd sorta like to
get rid of them (if only because I'm a neat-freak). The only way I can
think of to fix this is to go into the Attic directory in the repository
and blow the corresponding RCS file away. As I said, this file is
automatically generated each time we build the program, so the loss of
history wouldn't be an issue. Still, this is a pretty ugly solution---are
there any better options?
Thanks,
Richard
