This is true, but this is a local-only setting. If you want to make it permanent in the repository you need to use `cvs admin -kb'. Neither `cvs update' nor `cvs checkout' changes the repository. > Doesn't that mean that "cvs ci" will also commit the new version as a > binary file, will all the consequences of that, like that "cvs diff" > will be impossible etc.?
