Hello,
Is there any way to mark an existing file in the CVSNT repository that
it should *always* be checked out or updated with LF line-endings on the
Windows platform with the CVSNT client? I added them to the repository
*without* specifying -k+L -- now I have to remember to specify -k+L on
every checkout or update! How do I change default -k options permanently
for each such file? cvs update only seems to affect the current sandbox;
I want cvs log to show "keyword substitution: kvL" for each such file.
(I don't want to specify the option for checkout and update in ~/.cvsrc,
since I must also deal with DOS convention files on the same Windows
computer and even in the same sandbox directory.)
I use Cygwin on Windows, but I don't install the Cygwin CVS client
because I want to use the CVSNT client and TortoiseCVS in all my working
sandboxes, and of course the use of both types of client would mess the
sandboxes up. I also have a mixture of files on Windows requiring Unix
and DOS conventions (e.g. certain dot-files for Cygwin require LF-only
line endings), and SSH seems to transfer files verbatim between Windows
and Unix hosts--obviously LF endings have to be maintained on my Windows
machine.
What should I be doing here to repair my oversight in originally dding
the files without "-k+L"?
I have read the manual, probably I've missed something...
