title: How can I CVS-commit a binary file from command line?
body: <p>I need to commit a jar file in binary mode from the command line.</p>
  
  <p>What command should I use? The following does not work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ cvs commit -kb -m "Committing v2.5.7" myJar.jar
  Usage: cvs commit [-Rlf] [-m msg | -F logfile] [-r rev] files...
  -R          Process directories recursively.
  -l          Local directory only (not recursive).
  -f          Force the file to be committed; disables recursion.
  -F logfile  Read the log message from file.
  -m msg      Log message.
  -r rev      Commit to this branch or trunk revision.
  </code></pre>
