But it would be perfectly reasonable for a TeX user (Windows,
Unix, whatever) to /want/ a directory called (case-irrelevant)
"RCS", "CVS", or whatever, so to deliberately ignore such
directories just because they /might/ be something to
do with a Revision Control System, or a C-dontknow
?Versioning? System would seem to me a fairly major design
error to me.  How many normal TeX users have even /heard/
of RCS or CVS, let alone use one or other in conjunction
with their TeX work ?
