OTOH you're still having problems with it and there's no real need for it since you can get the same information from "cvs log". I understand developers can get pretty religious about these things. Personnally, I find logs within source annoying. It's too much information when I don't need it and gets in the way of the code. > > 2.

I mount my Cygwin directories binary since I use editors that keep things binary. If you use editors that insist on placing ^M's in the code, it's probably better to mount the directories as text. As for truly binary things, I think if you've told CVS that these elements are really binary (I think you can do this with "cvs add" and "cvs admin"), it should treat them as such.
