I would say your problem is mostly with wrong use of CVS, not with Visual 
Studio. You should never mix Unix/Windows newlines in your code, and as long 
as you don't mix unix and windows sandboxes, you're fine. Fix the CVS 
contents, and Visual Studio will be happy again.

Worst thing you can do to CVS, by the way, is to use ssh from cygwin. 
Totally messes up the repository, (you get \r\r\n newlines when checking out 
on windows with non-cygwin cvs).

Enno.
