Thanks for the prompt reply.  Using -vv gives

excluding file boot_1.2-16.tar.gz because of pattern *.tar.gz

which seems to show the issue: file .cvsignore has

*.tar.gz
*.ts

causing the *.tar.gz files to be excluded, and explictly including them
via 

  --include=*.tar.gz

is overridden by the excludes.

Is there a way of overriding the excludes from .cvsignore?  (I tried
setting the environment variable CVSIGNORE to null or /dev/null but that
does not do the trick ...)

Thanks
