nt/INSTALL and -kb

[Eli Zaretskii]

The instructions in nt/INSTALL say:

  If you are building out of CVS, then some files in this directory
  (.bat files, nmake.defs and makefile.w32-in) may need the line-ends
  fixing first. The easiest way to do this and avoid future conflicts
  is to run the following command in this (emacs/nt) directory:
     cvs update -kb

However, AFAIK the -kb option is sticky: it gets written into the
file's entry in CVS/Entries, and thereafter all future CVS ops for
that file use it.  Doesn't that mean that "cvs ci" will also commit
the new version as a binary file, will all the consequences of that,
like that "cvs diff" will be impossible etc.?  If that's what will
happen, I think we shouldn't advise usink -kb without a proper warning
to people who might later wish to commit files in the nt/ directory to
CVS.

Or am I missing something?
