Afaik, cvs2svn looks at the only clue it has, which is whether the file
has "-kb" in the CVS repository. Probably (some of) these PNGs didn't,
and so cvs2svn imported them as text (since that's what they were in the
CVS repository). You might not notice the corruption on CVS if you were
working in an all LF environment, but once you tried to do a checkout on
windows, you'd have seen the CRLF corruption there too.
Were you using subversion with mixed LF/CRLF clients? What was the
svn:eol-style set to? Same as with CVS: if you were working in an
all-LF environment you probably wouldn't notice the corruption.
The biggest difference between CVS and subversion in this area is how
they determine whether to merge when concurrent edits occur: subversion
looks for an svn:mime-type beginning with "text/", whereas CVS
determines it based on the "-kb" option.
