As far as I know the only files I'll be adding or editing will be my own
Python files, Products, and the ZODBs. If it'll just ignore them or
maybe complain and then ignore, I'll be fine. 

For an experiment once, I added a file and then did an update. It
complained about a file not be added thru CVS or something as such. I
just wanted to make sure when ZODB changes and such it wouldn't be a
problem.

Are you saying checkout the PTK into the directory in which it should be
installed in the Zope installation rather than into the ZopePTK
directory that it defaults to?

I was thinking from reading some of the PTK list that this isn't
painless. Maybe this can be improved when it reaches release status.
