Yes, Rodney is right, Brett.

As for CVS, this is managed by the CVS client/server software (for ASCII
files, which is the default file type).
If and only if a file is tagged as binary (option -kb) within CVS, it is
unchanged.

Usage: cvs add [-k rcs-kflag] [-m message] files...
        -k   Use "rcs-kflag" to add the file with the specified kflag.
