Hi Tony,

While running our SmartCVS regression tests I've found out that CVSNT 2.5.02 
#2096 imports even binary files with the text file keyword substitution 
mode. This used to work in CVSNT 2.0.58d and still works in GNU CVS 1.11.14, 
our "reference" server.

How to reproduce?
- create a simple mini project locally, e.g.

   [test-project]
   + [dir]
   | \ file.bin
   \ file.txt

   the file.bin should have binary content

- use SmartCVS' "Admin|Track 3rd-Pary Sources (Import)" menu item,
   enter/select the test-project's root path and continue

The generated requests are:

As you see, the file.bin has a preceding "Kopt -kb" to mark it as binary 
file. When I take a look into the ,v-files in the repository, the content of 
both files looks like this:

> <snip>
> 1.1
> date     2005.09.23.07.16.10;  author tom;  state Exp;
> branches 1.1.1.1;
> next     ;
> kopt   o;
> deltatype   text;
> permissions	666;
> 
> 1.1.1.1
> date     2005.09.23.07.16.10;  author tom;  state Exp;
> branches ;
> next     ;
> kopt   o;
> deltatype   text;
> permissions	666;
> <snip>

Could you please take a look at this problem? Thanks in advance.
