I have personally kept binary files in CVS for many years. (Since
before -kb was supported, but at that time all my systems were Unix
boxes.)
Since -kb and Windows interoperability were introduced, I have yet to
hear a credible report about a binary file corruption that did not involve
one of the following:
- Some kind of hardware or network failure that corrupted the RCS file.
- Someone did the initial checkin of the file without -kb set beforehand.
