[SATLUG] CVS GUI

[M. Filio]

I'm no expert but came across this:

"Until now, I've left unsaid the dirty little secret of CVS, which is
that it doesn't handle binary files very well (well, there are other
dirty little secrets, but this definitely counts as one of the
dirtiest). It's not that CVS doesn't handle binaries at all; it does,
just not with any great panache."

So to use binary files with CVS you'll have to make sure to do some extra steps.
