CVS has the keyword substitution feature: in a text file you write $Header$ and, when you commit the file, CVS substitutes $Header$ with something like $Header: /repo/src.cpp,v 1.6 2009/03/12 14:53:14 luser Exp $ Is it possible to get the same feature when dealing with a binary Microsoft Word file?

Is there any way to add the execute bit back to the file? I think it involves modifying the repository directly, but I don't know how to ...
I have notice a trend for developers to comment their changes less with the justification that the purpose/date/reason is in the changelog. They have some very justifiable claims that duplication of effort is occuring if we require both. I am spending some serious amount of time tracking down changes.

How do I generate a default comment for cvs? I'd like every checkin comment to start with "Change #: " and be available for the user to edit. I know this can be done globally in the repository.

We are considering switching our source control repository at my work from Perforce to either CVS or SVN. I said that I didn't think CVS was as popular as SVN recently, and was met with a lot of blank stares. My boss told me that I must be still stuck inside the Windows-programming world if I was considering SVN, because most UNIX-based ...

I have a file in CVS under x/y/f.txt. In my local copy, I have x/, but no x/y/ and I want to fetch f.txt from the repo. Is there any combination of CVS command-line switches which can make it pull only x/y/f.txt with all of its ancestors (in this case x/y/) but without any collateral files (such as x/y/g.txt or x/z)? The only way I'...
