[cvsnt] migration from cvs to cvsnt, binary delta, ku option

[Christian Kasper]

hallo,
 
i want to migrate from cvs 1.11.13 to the recent cvsnt version. i am
working under sunos 5.9 and i have ca. 30 repositories.
in your installation guide you wrote
 
	---There is no change in the repository structure and it should
be problem free to move a complete repository to
a new CVSNT server.---
 
but in a email from Thu Apr  1 20:55:03 2004 daniel wrote
 
     ---CVSNT newer versions store mergepoints and binary
    deltas, so the repository format is not the same.---
 
*confused* 
 
----------------------------------------------
     
one major reason for the change to cvsnt is the binary delta.  you wrote
in the comparison CVSNT vs. CVS
 
     ---Efficient storage of binary files using binary deltas---
 
and in a email from Wed Dec 22 00:00:04 2004 you wrote
 
    ---Binary deltas help a little, although they're far from perfect (I

       suspect the algorithm needs some tweaking anyway, as the
resultant file 
       size has crept up over time as I've fixed stuff)---
 
*???* is the binary delta stable and efficient ? 
 
-----------------------------------------------

i am working in a utf-8 environment, so i have to add all text and
program files with the option –ku ???


thank you for your help
