I struggled with this, and here are the solutions I
came up with (my platform: W2k Pro, cygwin, ssh)
1. Using WinCvs: Make sure you have not checked the box
[x] Checkout Text files with Unix LF (Oxa)
which is located in the tab:
Admin -> Preferences -> Globals
2. Using Xemacs, here's something that you can put in
your startup to make sure that new files are loaded
up as using DOS line-endings. (When XEmacs loads
other files, it should automatically determine what
type of file [max/dos/unix] and use those line-endings
when you edit):
;; Let new files be loaded up with Dos-EOL
(set-default-buffer-file-coding-system 'undecided-dos)
3. Using cvs in cygwin...I'm not totally sure about this
because I don't use cvs in cygwin that much (and the
latest versions of vi/less tend to mask the line endings
of text files)...but I think it may depend on if your
drives are mounted in binmode or textmode. You can
tell my doing a 'mount' command. For example, on my
system, the drives are mounted:
[0|14:53:56|dev] mount
d:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode)
d:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode)
d:\cygwin on / type user (binmode)
c: on /c type system (binmode)
d: on /d type system (binmode)
I think you want binmode, but I'm not sure.
