It should be possible to create new CVS file types (e.g. bindings to Binary/ASCII for extensions or names) within the Share Project wizard. Currently, the user has to: 1) Realize that they're about to commit their files as binary, not ASCII. (thankfully, the UI makes this fairly plain..) 2) Cancel out of the wizard 3) Web search around for the problem 4) Go to Window -> Preferences -> Team -> CVS -> File Content to add any new file types. 5) Start the wizard all over again. The wizard works well for "on the beaten path" projects, but this aspect of the workflow needs improvement for projects with unusual file types. In my case, these were Myghty templates (http://www.myghty.org/, extension *.myt) and SCons (http://www.scons.org/) build spec files ('SConstruct' and 'SConscript').
Actually, all you need to do is click finish in the sharing wizard and it will bring up the commit wizard. The commit wizard allows the user to configure unknown types. However, I admit that this is not obvious from the sharing wizard and that the workflow needs improvement.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
