Peng Jian,
As far as I am aware - traditional CVS only accepts characters in the
US-ASCII codepage unless it is marked as binary. If you mark it as binary
then you will not be able to do diff/merge.
CVSNT is an open source (free) replacement for traditional CVS available for
Linux, Unix, Windows, Mac OS X etc etc, that supports multiple code pages
and also Unicode files. You can download it here:
http://www.cvsnt.com
This page talks a little about it:
http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/Substitution-modes.html
If you are using CVSNT 2.0.58 server and client then most likely you will
not have to change any settings - it will simply work properly the first
time.
You can check which version you are using by the command "cvs -v". CVSNT is
the default client for use with WinCVS and TortoiseCVS.
You may also be interested to check out the open source (free) newsgroup for
CVSNT:
