Hi, I'm a newcomer to CVS so please forgive me if the answer to this question is obvious. I have tried to find an answer in the FAQs and the Cederqvist but without success.
It seems to me that if a file is marked as binary or tagged in CVS/Entries in a sandbox, e.g.: /noodle.jpeg/1.1/Mon Apr 8 16:39:14 2002/-kb/TNOODLE_FINAL when 'cvs import'ed to a new repository, the resulting version should be tagged and registered as binary, so that when you 'cvs checkout' it again the resulting sandbox has the same binary/tag information. However! This doesn't happen for me. I am using a straight 'cvs import' with no extra arguments, and a straight 'cvs checkout' to get the file back. I think it's the import which is losing the information, as the file 'noodle.jpeg,v' makes no reference to 'NOODLE_FINAL' and the line just before what seems to be the binary contents of the file reads 'text'. Incidentally, this is also the case if I explicitly try to import the file '-kb'. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I appreciate that I might be able to get it to work by putting *.jpeg in my cvswrappers file but I'd like to know whether I'm missing something fundamental. thanks in advance, Hamish _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
