Chris, I needed to do this to a file this very morning. You need this command: cvs admin -kk t filename Then update to get the text file into your working copy... cvs update filename Anne -----------------original message----------------------------- Message: 6 Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2004 14:27:06 -0500 From: Chris Morris <cvsnt at clabs.org> Subject: [cvsnt] Undoing Unicode setting on a file To: cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook Message-ID: <cg2usu$n33$1 at paris.nodomain.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed We added a text file to our repository as a Unicode file, when it really wasn't. In the past, we've had a unicode file in as a binary file, and I was able to delete, commit, then re-add the file as unicode and everything was fine. But trying to delete, commit, make sure the file is converted to ASCII from Unicode, re-add the file as text -- it still goes into the repository as unicode. If I delete my local file, then re-pull it, it comes out as unicode. Is there anyway around this?
