[cvsnt] Re: Keyword Expansion

If you are using CVSNT 2.0.58d will the update cmd allow you switch from -kb
to -kB for binary files in your repository? We have some Oracle form files
that use more disk space to store revisions.

Yes.  The wrappers only affect add/import.

To change the expansion of an existing file you do:

cvs update -kb foo.php
cvs commit -fm "Change expansion" foo.php

(If you're using an older server this might not work - the alternate 
method is to use

cvs admin -kb foo.php

however this isn't versioned and will affect the older versions, 
possibly making them unreadable).

You probably don't want to make a php file binary though... it'll cause 
all sorts of issues like line endings plus you won't be able to merge it.
