I asked a friend of mine who has used cvs extensively, and he said:
When adding files to cvs (somewhat equivilent to 'cleartool mkelem ...'),
you must tell cvs to treat a file as binary using the -kb flag, and/or
set global defaults for different file types (e.g., *.jpg) using a
cvswrappers file in the repository, e.g.:
cvs add -kb binaryfile.jpg
Thereafter, the file is treated as binary, and no additional effort is needed.
Change logs are preserved, but cvs leaves it up to the user to figure
out how to diff and merge 2 versions of a binary file (i.e. cvs understands
that a text diff of 2 binary files doesn't make sense).
