Hello Hartmut, I found the following message that you responded to on the CVSNT mailing list. We are using the latest stable version of CVSNT (2.0.14) on a Windows XP Pro server and we experience this problem. It seems that CVSNT tries to merge files when the -kb option is specified. What "current release" are you referring to when you say that the "current release" of CVSNT fixes this behaviour? Any help you can offer will be appreciated. >> The -kb option disables keyword expansion and line ending conversion, >> which is disireable for binary files in the archive. It should have no >> effect on how your file gets updated. I'm not sure the best way to flag >> a file to not be updated, for instance when you update the whole >> directory containing that file, but this seems like a useful thing to >> know if anyone else can provide the answer. >The current release of CVSNT fixes this behaviour: -kb both disables keyword >expansion and prevents CVSNT from merging changes into your modified sandbox >files. If CVSNT needs to update a binary file that has been modified, it >renames the local copy to ".#foo.revision" and gives you a clean copy >(instead of trying to merge the repository changes into the local file). -Hartmut Thank you, Mark. ------------------------------ Mark Young Senior Architect the PYXIS innovation e-mail: myoung at pyxisinnovation.com phone: 613-389-6619 web: www.pyxisinnovation.com
