If you add binary files to a VCS repository, it is necessary to specify -kb keyword substitution option when adding the file. When you add .gif files, this option is specified automatically.
Your filesystem must be set to prompt you for advanced command options in order to specify -kb keyword substitution.
To be prompted for advanced options for VCS commands:
For built-in CVS client filesystems, set the User Interface Mode property to GUI Style.

If you want to add multiple files that are represented
by the same node in the Explorer, and the node represents a mix of binary
and textual files, you can set the options individually for each file. If
you are working with the IDE's generic VCS support, select the Prompt for
Input on Each Successive File checkbox when you are prompted for options.
If you are working with the IDE's built-in CVS client, right-click the node and choose Versioning Explorer. In the Versioning Explorer window, each file has its own node. You can run CVS commands with different command options on each file. |
