9. Handling binary files
The most common use for CVS is to store text
files. With text files, CVS can merge revisions,
display the differences between revisions in a
human-visible fashion, and other such operations.
However, if you are willing to give up a few of these
abilities, CVS can store binary files. For
example, one might store a web site in CVS
including both text files and binary images.
