Thanks for that Tony, That makes sense and unfortunately, we are developing in Oracle Forms so about 50% of our code base is comprised of Binary Files (Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports source modules are binary not textual). However, at least we are going to get them into a source management system rather than our current system, which I wont explain as it would scare you ;-) Trevor -----Original Message----- From: cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org [mailto:cvsnt-bounces at cvsnt.org] On Behalf Of Tony Hoyle Sent: Wednesday, 9 February 2005 9:06 am To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Subject: Re: [cvsnt] Re: Keyword Expansion Trevor Leybourne wrote: > Tony, > > I am wondering if I am missing something.

Binary files are nonmergable, which means you can't realistically do parallel development on them, or use branches. Also they don't translate line endings... editing your file on Windows then checking out on Unix will quite possibly cause the parser to barf on all the CRLF pairs. You should really only use binary for files that really are binary - executables, graphics etc. where the nonmergablility is unavoidable.
