Better would be to add an f suboption to -k:
- -kv would be changed as we're discussing, to say
override the stored keyword setting, except for 'b'

Because the person adding it made a mistake :-) But the right
way to fix that mistake is to use cvs admin -kwhatever

The problem is that you can't turn off the features in CVS that are hard
(impossible) to use once you've added binary files to a repository.

The two worms I can think of are:
- The -kb mechanism is fragile, and when it breaks, the file
gets corrupted. Well, that's what this thread is about
fixing.
- No reserved checkouts. That's clearly a problem for
unmergeable files (whether binary

Hi,
people keep suggesting to use -kv keyword substitution with export. I'd
definitly like to use it, but we have some binary files in the repository
which might be corrupted during export -kv (see also
http://cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_12.html#SEC102).
What is the reason that the -k option is

if they were checked in as binary? I believe that many users would
appreciate a change which ignores -k for binary files.
So when are you going to contribute the code that does it?
