Changelog in src (CVS on Cygwin)

Changelog in src (CVS on Cygwin)

[Angelo Graziosi]

This is a minor question that happens on Cygwin.

After the last CVS update, reading src/ChangeLog [1] with

$ less src/ChangeLog

I got:

'' "src/ChangeLog" may be a binary file.  See it anyway? ''

isn't it strange?

For the sake of completeness, loading it with Emacs, the mode line says 
its coding system is 'U' (usually it is '--' or '1' if one uses accented 
characters etc.).


Cheers,
    Angelo.

[1] i.e. after it is:

2008-04-09  Jan Dj[...]  <...@...>

         * atimer.c (alarm_signal_handler): Call run_timers if not 
SYNC_INPUT.
         (run_timers): New function.
[...]

ChangeLogs in the trunk are now UTF-8, as you can see in the Local
Variables section:

;; Local Variables:
;; coding: utf-8
;; add-log-time-zone-rule: t
;; End:

And before that, they were iso-2022-7bit, so you should never have seen 
'1' in the mode line for these files.

Configure your Less to not treat UTF-8 sequences as binary.  (Look up
LESSCHARDEF in the Less man page.)

P.S.  Sorry about the previous empty mail.
