I'm working on a CVS tree off of sourceforge and have recently upgraded from NB 4.1 to NB 5.0. I've noticed thta CVS no longer downloads finary files, such as JAR files correctly. When I clean my repository and use Cygwin to checkout a source tree, the compiled jar files in the tree download correctly. When I clean again and attempt to do the same thing with NB 5.0, the jar files are several bytes longer and are corrupt. Is CVS somehow interpreting these files as text?
I assume the project is freely accessible so can you give us cvsroot and paths of files that get corrupted so we can reproduce it?
The project is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/joode To get it: cvs -d :ext:<yourSourceForgeLogin>@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/joode checkout (you can also login anonymously over pserver, but I'm not sure if the bug can be duplicated that way). All *.jar files in the /lib directory will download corrupted.
I checked it and found that almost all .jar files are stored in CVS as text files. You can see in CVS/Entries file that only junit.jar was added correctly with -kb option. All other libraries were added as text files and you should contact the person who maintains the project to correct that.
