Re: cvs cannot process Chinese characters?

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:
news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt
Or

Regards,


Arthur Barrett
