CVS breaks all files, whether binary or text, into "lines" where a line
is roughly defined as "any sequence of bytes preceded by ASCII LF
(0x0A)". Thus, all files store only the deltas required to generate the
previous revision. In the worst case, a file may contain no LF
characters and thus the entire file must be stored. Does CVSNT behave
differently?
