[cvsnt] Re: Binary files are imported as text files (CVSNT 2.5.02 #2096)

> import -I! -W *.* -ko -W *.bin -kb

OK, I've tried this on command line:

| C:\temp\b>cvs import -I! * -ko -W *.png -kb dir vendor-tag release-tag
| cvs [import aborted]: tag '*.png' must not contain the characters '$,.:;@'

Why CVSNT treats the *.png as a tag?
