Well since cvs is trying to open a file name foo\r and since foo\r is an
illegal filename for Win32; then, you don't want \r\n line endings.  Have you
updated you Cygwin recently?  IIRC, both ash and bash were modified to read
script files in text mode so that these problems don't occur.

To modify your file you can:
  cp foo.sh foo.tmp
  tr -d '\r' < foo.tmp > foo.sh
  rm foo.tmp

This will delete all \r's in the file.

Cheers,
