Ignoring an entire directory and subdirectories on CVS commit

Question

How does one ignore the entire contents of the a directory with name target in using a .cvsignore file. I currently use eclipse IDE

I have tried to use target but it does not seem to work. Should i rather be using target/* or target*. This would be very important especially for Maven projects.

Answer 1

Use just 'target' in the .cvsignore file
