I have finished the implementation of the vc ignore feature. See attached patch.

The standalone vc extension for old Emacsen is available at http://sw-amt.ws/emacs/doc/_build/html/_static/x-vc-repair.el

This obsoletes #37215 <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=37215>vc-cvs-ignore writes absolute filenames and duplicate strings, <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=37215>

Subject: [PATCH] vc ignore feature repair

Complete implementation of ignore feature with proper filename
escaping and anchoring for all applicable supported backends:

  CVS, SVN, SRC, Bzr, Git, Hg, Mtn.

Going back to my day job ...
