To add to this: If the text files are Unix-style (LF only), I also had
success in importing everything as binary, and changing the text files
to text afterwards with "cvs admin".
If the text files are Windows style, doing a dos2unix on them, and then
treating it as in the above case, works, too.
Best regards,
