I tend to disagree: It should not!
Which extensions are binary files? Is .au a binary file? I know .au as
(Sun?) audio file, but I've also seen a project where .au had the
meaning of "additional user" or something like that, and was a text
file.
The same could be true for other extensions. What about .doc? .doc is
not necessarily a Word file, especially not on old project. So, my
conclusion is: Only the user is aware what type each file is. Checking
in a text file with -kb (from a Windows machine) is something which many
administrators do not like, either.
If you have so much fear about binary files, why don't you put * -kb
into your cvswrappers, and declare any text file explicitly? This way,
you cannot miss the binary files.
Best regards,
Spiro.
