I tend to disagree: It should not! Which extensions are binary files? Is .au a binary file? I know .au as (Sun?) audio file, but I've also seen a project where .au had the meaning of "additional user" or something like that, and was a text file. The same could be true for other extensions. What about .doc? .doc is not necessarily a Word file, especially not on old project. So, my conclusion is: Only the user is aware what type each file is. Checking in a text file with -kb (from a Windows machine) is something which many administrators do not like, either. If you have so much fear about binary files, why don't you put * -kb into your cvswrappers, and declare any text file explicitly? This way, you cannot miss the binary files.
