I have a html file that contain some Greek characters, and whenever I try to commit it I got:

commitlog: file="dummy.html" appears to be a BINARY commitlog error: file="dummy.html" appears BINARY but checked in as ASCII cvs commit: Pre-commit check failed

I am using: cvs add -kk dummy.html cvs commit dummy.html

Is there any way to workaround this and commit file as text and not as binary.

Thanks

Try add this file with the following command:

cvs add -kb

if you want binary file, try:

cvs add -ko

It depends on how your files are encoded. If you use utf-8 for example, CVS could treat this as normal text files.
