This is what I found in Fogel/Bar: "Open Source Development with CVS"

Q: My Binary Files Are Messed Up.
A: Did you remember to use -kb when you added them? If not, CVS might
have performed line-end conversion or RCS keyword substitution on them.
The easiest solution is usually to mark them as binary
yarkon$ cvs admin -kb foo.gif
and then commit a fixed version of the file. CVS will not corrupt the
new commit or any of the commits thereafter, because it now knows the
file is binary.

Though, in case something went wrong, I didn't say a word.

Kind regards,
