[cvsnt] Re: corruption of binary files on checkout

[Corey Wirun]

I changed my server back to GNU CVS, and it worked (i.e. no corruption of
LF/CR), with my identical client configuration.

I put 2.5.03.2127 back on the server and took WinCVS out of the picture (CVS
command line directly) and it again failed.  So WinCVS wasn't the culprit.

I took your configuration and put 2.5.03.2127 on the client AND server and
it worked fine - no corruption.

So there was apparently something incompatible between the older CVSNT
client (2.0.51d) and the new server (2.5.03.2127).

Anyway, I'm back in business.

Thanks for your time.
Corey.
