This is true for Unix based systems, but not for systems where CR/LF is
the usual line ending. Checking in a binary file from a Windows system,
you have very good chances to break it if there is a CR/LF anywhere
inside of it.
For non-CR/LF machines, checking in binary files without -kb does
not do any harm even if there are keywords ($Id$, for example) inside of
it. CVS checks them in "as-is" and only expands the keywords on
checkout. Thus, if you forgot doing the -kb on checkin, just set the
state afterwards with cvs admin and check the file out again.
As told, this is NOT true for CR/LF based systems.
Regards,
Spiro.
