I think, it is a well known problem that
1. binary files are implemented via a keyword substitution mode
2. keyword substitution command options override the binary status ("-kb")
for repository
files.
This becomes a problem when one wants to use "-kk" on
"cvs update|checkout] -j ..." to get rid of stupid merge conflicts in
keyword values. When such a command covers a binary file, the file can get
corrupted.
The attached patch prevents that a keyword substitution command option
can override a "-kb" in the repository file.
It is still possible to change the keyword substitution mode for the repository
file with "cvs admin".
