I don't know what you call "normal text files", but with utf-8, a single
character can be anywhere from one to four bytes. If with "normal text
files" you mean single-byte ASCII, this doesn't work well. It works only as
long as you use exclusively ASCII characters, because in this case, the
byte encoding is in fact identical.
What I'd like to know is whether cvsnt is designed to work with files
encoded in utf-8 added as normal text files (-kt) -- for merging, for
example.
