The Windows CVS client that I am talking about does not do any explicit
translation or canonicalization in the sense that you mean: it simply opens
files in text mode whenever reading or writing a non-binary file. This means
that when you check in a file that has DOS line endings on a Unix system (or
Cygwin/MSYS), the \r's will be stored on the server, and when checking out
the file on Windows, the file will be opened in text mode so "\r\n" becomes
"\r\r\n". Here I am talking about the "official" CVS client from
cvshome.org, and the same happens with the client that comes with
TortoiseCVS (I don't know about WinCVS).
