The git-cvsserver documentation claims that the server will set -k modes if appropriate which is not really the case. On the other hand the available gitcvs.allbinary variable is not documented at all. Fix both these issues by rewording the related paragraph. Signed-off-by: Frank Lichtenheld <redacted> --- Documentation/git-cvsserver.txt | 8 +++++--- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) I send this before but it seems to have been lost in the noise. Also CCed Andy Parkins this time who introduced the gitcvs.allbinary variable. I think this should be suitable for 1.5.1.
