I'm trying to use FreeBSD's CVS (v1.11.5) to manage DOS/Windows projects, which of course means files with CR/LF line endings. The docs claim the repository will internally store everything (text files anyway) with only LF endings, but in fact I'm seeing CR/LF endings in repository text files. This is still fine until I pull a project out with a DOS/Windows CVS client (the standard cvs.exe), which gives me lines ending in CR/CR/LF. If I pull the project under Unix, I get the CR/LF endings just fine; but my coworkers will not be telneting to Unix just to pull code... I'm considering CVSNT because it's made to handle things like this, but I don't really want to hand the whole source management thing over to a Windows box and don't fancy running two different CVS packages on one FreeBSD box either. (Also, I'm not sure how stable CVSNT is now.) Recommendations welcome. I'm not sure I'm asking this in the best place, but I know a lot of people here use CVS, and particularly the one that comes with FreeBSD. (I run FreeBSD 4-STABLE in case it matters.) Thanks much. -- Doug Lee dgl@dlee.org http://www.dlee.org Bartimaeus Group doug@bartsite.com http://www.bartsite.com Snowmen fall from heaven, unassembled. --anon
