That's what the file is called. Just put all the filenames in there, that you 
don't want to have under version control. Here's a sample of the file in the 
kmymoney2 main directory. You see, wildcards are allowed. There are also some 
default files built into CVS (e.g. *.o, *.s, etc.)

- ---%<--- 
configure
config.h
config.h.in
config.log
config.cache
config.status
Makefile
Makefile.in
libtool
stamp-h
stamp-h.in
build-stamp
install-stamp
aclocal.m4
acinclude.m4
.libs
kmymoney2.doxygen
kmymoney2-api
make-ui.sh
*~
configure.in
subdirs
configure.files
kmymoney2.kdevses
autom4te-2.5x.cache
