I'm not sure if I saw an answer to this so here's my $0.02. 2.0.58d cvs does expansion modes as an update action so you don't need admin utility privileges anymore I don't think: cvs up -kb binary.bin [make sure file is good] cvs co -f -m"Make it binary" binary.bin I just did this to several files in our repository and it worked great. Or, I think TortoiseCVS does some investigation for you on the add/commit and should be able to determine what's binary and what's text before it goes in. I've only used Tortoise for a little while but it's already saved me once by correctly seeing that a GIMP .xcf file was a binary despite it missing from my server side cvswrappers file.
