[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]
I use the cvsnt 1.11.1.2 (build40?) on a win2000 machine.
If I use the command cvs admin -o to delete some outdated revisions, then all
binary files in the repository are destroyed.
I looked into the sorcecode and found the reason:
The call for exec_diff() in rcs.c line 6362 never sets the --binary option. In
this case the file is opened as a text file and gets shortened. The output of
the diff is unusable.
Where is the right place to send patches to?
