for some reason this mail got lost, so i resend it.
while i was working under windows, i constantly had problems with .dsp and
.dsw files. when i downloaded any file using cvs (wincvs), its line ends were
automatically converted to windows format: from a standard LF to CR, LF used
in dos/windows. this was ok for all files except for .dsp and .dsw ones,
which had windows-style ended lines on server. so, in my copy i had lines
ended with CR, CR, LF and they confused visual studio.
here is an excerpt from cvs texinfo documentation:
File: cvs.info, Node: Binary howto, Prev: Binary why, Up: Binary files
How to store binary files
=========================
There are two issues with using CVS to store binary files. The
> first is that CVS by default converts line endings between the
> canonical form in which they are stored in the repository (linefeed
> only), and the form appropriate to the operating system in use on the
> client (for example, carriage return followed by line feed for Windows
> NT).
so, the question is: do we need windows-style line ends in those files on
server? i don't know what cvs program Trevor uses, but he told me he never
had such problems. however, the documentation claims that _any_ cvs program
should perform such conversion (by default).
