Damn... I came to think of something... Could the real problem be that I
have commited the files from a command prompt and the default is ascii???
Perhaps. The file type is set when you first add the file, not when you
commit.
I've never used cvs admin -kb and cvs update -A... Perhaps I'm going to
learn it the hard way now :-)
Please. I strongly suggest reading at least parts of the manual:
<http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.21/cvs.html>
If you're actually using CVSNT, you'll need to find its manual since
parts of it are radically different from regular CVS.
Question: Why not commit *all* files as binary files, even those that
are ascii files?
Because CVS is primarily a *source* control system and you want source
files to be in the correct format for the system you're currently
working on, not the system where they were originally created.
Is there a way to set default as binary files, from
command prompt?
You can use the cvswrappers file to do that, although it's not a good
idea unless you really have no interest whatsoever in supporting
multiple platforms. See the previously mentioned manual for details.
