Why? It's a bug in CVS that should be fixed *there*, not worked
around here. At the very least CVS should allow the default ignore
list to be ignored, should do type checking (file, directory, link,
device) on matches, and should possibly call file(1) to see if that's
really a core file (for example) at all.
Instead of renaming any directory named "core", please mail a bug
report to the CVS team at <cyclic-cvs@cyclic.com> about this. I Cc'ed
them this message.
