CVS contains LF-only project files





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-10-23 12:31 -------
I'm using Cygwin CVS.

I know that the project files are supposed to be text files, but for these
particular text files the line endings happen to be very important. As a result,
the project files simply won't work on any CVS checkout not done with a
Windows/DOS-only version of CVS (such as Cygwin's CVS).

An option to work around this would probably be to do the checkout on a text
mount, but that doesn't repair the problem. IIRC, the CVS snapshots have the
same problem, which means that the CVS snapshots won't work for MSVC6 (or 7, I
think).

If you want, I can check whether the CVS snapshots have the problem..

As for merging these files often: it's true that -kb adds a lot of overhead to a
merge - mostly because CVS doesn't do any binary patches. I don't think that
that is a real concern when fixing a bug, though - and IMHO, this is a bug.
