CVS: Can't change ascii/binary type of file
Re: Can't change ascii/binary type of file: "I don't know about WinCVS, but with CVS, I would do cvs admin -kb As the cederqvist tells us about the treatment of binary files (in section 9.2 'How to store binary files'): However, in using cvs admin -k to change the keyword expansion, be aware that the keyword expansion mode is not version controlled. This means that, for example, that if you have a text file in old released, and a binary file with the same name in new releases, CVS provides no way to check out the file in text or binary mode depending on what version you are checking out. There is no good workaround for this problem."
