Original problem: I have a binary file that I'd like to store in
CVS. It's a file used on Mac OS X, and needs to have type/creator codes
set properly in the filesystem. These codes don't survive a pass through
the CVS repository (they are empty when the file is checked out).
Use your build system (make?) to fix the type/creator codes.
Second problem: now my CVSROOT/cvswrappers file is unusable because of the
above error, and I can't commit changes in order to fix it - because of
the same error. How can I fix it if I can't commit changes?
When something like this happens to me, I resort to brute force (a.k.a. CVS
voodoo). Replace the file $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/cvswrappers with the fixed
version. Then commit your changes. You'll need direct access to the
repository files to do this.
