Jumping in the middle here as I think I am faced with this issue.  For this 
particular project the code MS complied be MS tools targeting an MS platform.

Win32 client with WinCVS
     |        |
     |        |
     |      Work directory on SAMBA share on Linux
     |
     |
CVS server on Linux

Using WinCVS I check code out of the Linux based CVS server to my SAMBA 
share directory on a Linux server.

Are you saying that because my work directory is on a Linux server, I will 
have problems with the line ending and/or other things?

Or am I save since I only access the repository with a MS based tool and 
edit the files only with MS based tools?
