  Its behavior actually makes sense if we consider that each "cvs add"
represents a different logical file; that they share a name isn't
actually important.  Since -kb is sticky, a new revision of a file
gets it if the previous revision had it.  Since CVS doesn't assume
anything based on the file extension (like binary-ness), it has to be
specified for each "cvs add" of a binary file.
  Makes sense to me.  ;-)
