[Geoserver-devel] bc_roads: CVS error

I've discovered why I cannot load the bc_roads files: they have
been added to cvs as text files instead of being committed as binary
files, so the shapefile datastore refures to load them (they have
been corrupted by the text encoding).
Chris, can you delete and re-add them as binary files?

Thank you
Andrea

Ok, I just did cvs admin -kb, which _should_ take care of the problem. If
it doesn't then I can delete and re-add them, which should fix if the
admin command fails.

You will need to:
find a clean copy of the binary file, put it somewhere safe
cvs update
replace file that comes out of cvs with the fresh copy of the binary file
cvs commit

Just doing -kb will mark the file as binary but will not undo the damage that has already been done to the file.
