Cygwin's CVS is based on the stock cvs sources, which were designed
with Unix and Unix-style line endings in mind.  If you need to insert
dos line endings, use unix2dos.  Similarly, if you need to switch to
Unix line endings, use dos2unix.  If you know what you are doing, you
could probably whip up a script to automate the processing for you.

Cheers,
Nicholas
