So don't do that :-) A couple of possibilities:
- Get people on Windows boxes to use WinCVS -- more generally,
people on whatever client platform should use a native CVS
client, rather than
- copying files to/from a UNIX box, or
- remote-mounting a sandbox which lives on a UNIX box
This is the "canonical" solution.
- Some Windows editors (eg. TextPad) can be configured to save
files using the UNIX EOL convention. We've had a fair amount
of luck with that.

Sounds like a good thing to do in addition. My suggestions will
make life easier for people, but this is what'll enforce your
policy.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea.
