The question came up off-list on how to fix broken binary files in the
CVS. For the archives....

If a file gets tagged as a text file, it will stay that way until you
tell the CVS otherwise.

To fix:

 cvs admin -kb image.gif
 cvs update -A image.gif
 cvs commit image.gif


When first added you need to explicitly state that it is a binary file:

 cvs add -kb image.gif
