It might make sense to add entries to CVSROOT/cvswrappers for all of
the anticipated binary files, though.  That will hint cvs(1) to mark
them as -kb automagically.

Here's the list that I use on most of my CVS repositories:

    *.dia -k 'b'
    *.gif -k 'b'
    *.ico -k 'b'
    *.jpg -k 'b'
    *.mo -k 'b'
    *.png -k 'b'
    *.tar -k 'b'
    *.zip -k 'b'
    *.tgz -k 'b'
