[cvsnt] update -p option over binary files

Nah, it's just a bug and a long standing one ;)

In fact I am close to solving the whole issue - the problem lies in cvsgui
protocol and the fix will involve both WinCvs and CVSNT changes. I can make
the binary files working with a very small changes but then the text files
are getting unixy line endings which is something that will complicate the
issue. I am currently looking into the ways to make it working with old,
"broken" versions as well as with fixed ones if possible. So, the menu item
stays if not only to keep me working on it ;)

Best Regards,
Jerzy

The pop-up menu item in WinCvs Graph view is *really* misleading and this
has been pointed out several times already.
The "Retrieve revision" item should *only* be visible if the graphed file
is a text file, because only then does it work at all.
This of course is a WinCvs issue....

Hi.

I am using cvsnt 2.0.0 on the server and on the client. And WinCVS
1.3.12.1.

Recently i have tried to retrieve and old revision of a binary file
and tried with the next command: update -p -r TAG binary.file (The command
was launch through WinCVS, with the graph and "Retrieve revision"). But
the output file (binary.file#TAG) doesn't was the real file, its size
wasn't correct. So i tried a checkout command and then the file was
correct.

Is It caused because the binary files are not mergeables???

I think this option would be useful.

Thanks.

Nacho.
