[cvsnt] -kB option problematic?

[Gerhard Fiedler]

Hello,

I've started to use the -kB option for binary files a while ago. Just now I
had an .msi installer that would not commit (it was added with the -kBx
options). After setting it to -kb it committed just fine. See the commit
trace below (while it still was -kBx).

Is this -kB option stable and recommended? Or is the -kb option safer?

Thanks,
Gerhard
