[OJB-developers] Problems with CVS - CVS is not doing line-end conversion correctly

[Leandro R. S. C. <le...@ib...>]

Some files are messed up, please, could you, the cvs admin correct the
problem using `cvs admin -kkv FILE`

"CVS is not doing line-end conversion correctly

If you're running the CVS client on a non-Unix platform and are not
getting the line-end conventions that you want in some working copy
files, it's usually because they were accidentally added with -kb when
they shouldn't have been. This can be fixed in the repository with,
believe it or not, the command:

floss$ cvs admin -kkv FILE

The -kkv means to do normal keyword substitution and implies normal
line-end conversions as well. (Internally, CVS is a bit confused about
the difference between keyword substitution and line-end conversion.
This confusion is reflected in the way the -k options can control both
parameters.)

Unfortunately, that admin command only fixes the file in the repository
- your working copy still thinks the file is binary. You can hand edit
the CVS/Entries line for that file, removing the -kb, but that won't
solve the problem for any other working copies out there."
