Re: Accidental -kb option used when adding a text file

[David D]

I have the reversed problems, I had binaries into the repository as text.
It's web pictures.
And I want them to be in binaries, furtunetly I keep them in my working dir.
How can i tell the repo to consider them as bin...

For not making the error again I make a cvswrapper but it was to late.


thanks.
