I did that already long before CVSNT was capable of versioning k-modes and there were no really significant revisions of binary dfm-files in the repository yet as we had only just begun using CVS(NT). I simply changed the mode using cvs admin -kkv (which back then changed the mode for all revisions of a file at once) and then carried on with what I was doing. This more or less thrashed the binary revisions that were already in the repository but back then it was no loss - apart from that, I suspect that I would probably still be able to retrieve them if I explicity specified -kb on update. So, in that respect I'm afraid I am not much help. I still occasionally change k-modes post-commit but that's usually from -kkv to -ko or from -kb to -kbc, i.e. no text/binary conversion. What I currently do in those cases is: cvs admin -k[whatever] filename cvs update filename That last step is not strictly necessary. All it does is make sure the value displayed in WinCvs is the one that will be used for the next commit operation. This only applies to CVSNT pre 2.0.58 obviously. Hope this helps. -- Oliver ---- ------------------ JID: ogiesen at jabber.org ICQ: 18777742 (http://wwp.icq.com/18777742)
