<quote source="Version Management with CVS">
If a file accidentally gets added without `-kb', one can use the cvs
admin command to recover. For
example:
$ echo '$Id$' > kotest
$ cvs add -m"A test file" kotest
$ cvs ci -m"First checkin; contains a keyword" kotest
$ cvs admin -kb kotest
$ cvs update -A kotest
# For non-unix systems:
# Copy in a good copy of the file from outside CVS
$ cvs commit -m "make it binary" kotest
When you check in the file `kotest' the file is not preserved as a
binary file, because you did not
check it in as a binary file. The cvs admin -kb command sets the
default keyword substitution method
for this file, but it does not alter the working copy of the file that
you have. If you need to cope
with line endings (that is, you are using CVS on a non-unix system),
then you need to check in a new
copy of the file, as shown by the cvs commit command above. On unix,
the cvs update -A command
suffices.
