Description Kevin McGuire CLA 2002-05-02 12:32:31 EDT 
We need to have a preference to determine if files which are not listed in the 
files pattern preference should be considered text or bin.

At present we default to bin.

This preference should be on the same page as the file patterns, and the 
methods in core Team for text/bin would respect this preference.

Comment 5 David Crossley CLA 2004-03-01 19:44:55 EST 
Please fix this ASAP. Eclipse is making a mess of our CVS. With the "cvs"
command-line client, adding files as text is the default. Due to Eclipse's
binary default, we get no end-of-line conversion of text files that have
non-standard filename extensions. This creates a mess of DOS line-endings when
people commit from Windows. There should be no such line-endings in a CVS
respository.

(Tried to raise the Severity to "critical".)
Comment 6 Daniel Serodio CLA 2004-03-29 16:23:38 EST 
I'd like to add that when adding a new file, if you don't specify the file type,
the CVS Server sets the file type (based on its 'cvswrappers' config file).

So, IMHO, the best way to handle unknown files would be to _not_ specify the
file type, and let the server "decide". I already have a "*.vm -k 'kv'" line in
cvswrappers, but I have to instruct the whole team to add this setting to their
workspaces. This (server) config file exists to avoid this problem!

Thanks.

Maybe someone should change the version from 2.0 to 3.0.  Hopefully this allows
for higher visibility on searches for current bugs.  This bug has set us back
many times on our projects, so I've added my vote.
