Branching can be used, but automatic merging doesn't work with binary files. You need to make sure that either you manually replicate all changes when you are merging, or use a 3rd party tool that is able to merge these files. For example, Microsoft Word includes a merge facility. Even though MS Word files are binary and stored in cvs as binary files, and thus cvs itself doesn't do any automatic merging on them, it is possible to do the merge manually, using Word's own merge facility when you need to merge branches. ------------------------------------------------ Interesting, I did not know about MSWord being able to do this. Could you just hint on how it is done? I have numerous cVS controlled files that are MSWord and it would be valuable to be able to merge different versions of the sama file.
