Re: CVS and Delphi
I'm not quite sure what you mean by linking your components with source code. However, I may provide some ideas on managing Delphi files with CVS. I think there are three types of files in a Delphi project: 1. Pascal Code (*.pas) 2. Form Definitions (*.dfm) 3. Data Modules (also *.dfm) All *.pas files are text, and thus easily submitted into CVS. For *.DFM files, I ask my developers to set them as text DFM, and simply check them in in CVS. However, I don't have many branches at the moment. And so far, we have not had the need to merge between branches. When merging is required, it will be a good practice to pay extra attention in *.DFM files. Hope this helps. If anyone else have a better tips, please jump in.

Re: merge or branch?
At 23:42 27/09/2001 +, you wrote: Development continues down branchA, and a new directory, with new files, gets added and committed on branchA. This new directory is obviously not on branchB, since it was created after branchA was created. I would suggest that you perform the new additions from the mainline (HEAD) whenever you add new directory and files. To get these files down the branch, you'll need to 'branch' these additions. Why? Well, firstly, files added in the branch would be stored in the Attic directory. Secondly, I experienced some problems in merging these type of files back to the HEAD branch. Question: how does one get the new directory from branchA onto branchB? 2. branch the new files in the new directory using the branchB branch tag. In other words: cvs tag -b branchB newfilename. My thoughts are option #2 will create another branch, with the same name (branchB) in cvs. I believe that option 2 will give my colleague what he wants, but I still believe two separate branches were created and merging would have been the better way to go as it would have brought the files over to the original branchB branch. I prefer your option #2. I think CVS does not differentiate between the two 'branch'. Your colleague will simply need to update his local work directory: cvs update -r branchB Rachman _ Do You Yahoo!?

Changing imported binary files to normal text file.
Hello, I have imported several files as binary and need to revert the type back to normal file. I know that the -kb option sets the binary flag. But how do I remove this flag? I have tried and look through the archive, but so far I could not find it yet. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough. But is this possible at all? If it is, then will these files mergeable by CVS ?
