I've got a dilemma. One of the graphical programming environments we are forced to use generate text files. (Crestron's SIMPL Windows - custom environment for their custom hardware - sigh.) We've used the fact that it's text to our advantage in that in some of the graphical fields, we put in CVS keywords - and it works. However, because of the way the file is built (actually, a half-ass database) - indexing gets completely hosed when going through a merge. The file ends up being unusable. I've been toying around with writing a script to run before and after a merge to fix this, but haven't gotten there yet. So, I was wondering, is it possible to tell CVSNT that a file is binary, but with keyword expansion enabled? My old version (1.11.1.3 - 57j) doesn't allow this, does the newer version? Also, if I do build a script to handle this issue, is there some way to have it automatically run on the client or server for just this file type before and after a merge? Perhaps have it run for every commit (keeping the mergable version in CVS) then re-translating it to a useful version after updates and merges?
