Well, editing the CVS files is likely to get you a repository that works
with neither version of cvs.  That's why I suggested trying a text mount.

FWIW, if you really do want to remove all CRs from the CVS administrative
files, you can use

find . -path \*/CVS/\* -print0 | xargs -r0 grep -lP '\r' | d2u

(not Cygwin-specific).
HTH,
