Can CVS cvswrappers be set up to treat all files as binary except for a few whitelisted extension?
Usually cvswrappers is used the other way around, ie. list all extensions which want to have keyword expansion -kb:
*.exe -k 'b'
But I need it the other way, so everything will be added/committed with -kb but everything else in the list is not.
I haven't tested this, but you should be able to put a binary wildcard at the end and your whitelist extensions above that with the default keyword expansion. e.g.
*.txt -k 'kkv'
* -k 'b'
You might even be able to omit explicitly mentioning the default expansion mode, given the fact that it is the default. e.g.
*.txt
* -k 'b'
Stepping back a bit, the only reason behind marking a file as binary is to stop keyword expansion. If you don't care about keyword expansion then you could just disable it by having the wildcard binary entry in CVSROOT/cvswrappers
or alternatively adding the following to CVSROOT/config
:
# Do not expand any RCS keywords
KeywordExpand=i
