I'm sorry..This is a bit confusing to me, as I only know WinCVS as a Windows GUI for CVS (www.wincvs.org). Of course it also comes with a command line version of CVS.
I did not make my problem very clear...I am using WinCVS cvs-1.10-win.zip.
A command line interface. ( I have to use this )
I want to be able to view the log messages/differences with binary filesThat's ok. cvs diff looks for differences between revisions, and the way you call it above does a diff between the latest revision in the repository and your current working directory. As you just committed it, there can't be any differences!
(*.doc/*.xls)I have added the file as binary '-kb'.
I commit a file as follows 'cvs ci -m "This is my log msg" filename.doc'
The command I'm trying to use to view the messages is 'cvs diff
filename.doc'
I do not get any output when I try this.
I'm I doing something completely worng? The 'diff' command does show the logNo. cvs log does.
messages...right?
Can I view log messages with binary files.Yes, you can. Please see above.
It seems to me that you didn't get the cvs manual. You can get it at http://www.sourcegear.com/CVS/Docs/cederqvist. It's quite good.
