File package wrappers (e.g., treating a nib file package as a single file) can cause more CVS grief than they're worth, particularly when using CVS in client-server mode. So prior to configuring your repository, I recommend commenting out all entries in the "Wrapped files" section of /Developer/Tools/cvswrappers. Examine the contents of each of the file packages in the "Wrapped files" section looking for binary files. Add the file extensions of any binary files to the "Binary files" section. Once a repository has been created, its wrapper policy cannot easily be changed.
