In the NEWS file for 2.6.4 there is:
- Restore the list-clearing behavior of "!" in a .cvsignore file (2.6.3
was only treating it as a special token in an rsync include/exclude
file).
This would mean that in 2.6.3 the "!" didn't actually do anything in a
.cvsignore file (including not generating an error...).

It would help if you could give a clear-cut repeatable test case,
complete with the .cvsignore file as an attachment. The error message
you give would seem to indicate that there is e.g. a space or a \r after
the "!" sign.
