It is neither a problem nor an artifact - CVS is giving you text files in the
Windows format on a Windows machine - what else would you expect?
The problem is that you want them in a different format. I don't know about
TortoiseCVS, but WinCVS (www.cvsgui.org) permits checkout of text files with
Unix line endings. I do *not* know if it will properly check *in* those files
after modification. You can also use Cygwin, which has Unix line ends as the
default in its CVS client.
*DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER!* Be *very* careful which tools you use on
these files before checking them back in, as most tools will convert the line
endings to Windows style. If you use Cygwin, it is best to write a little
checkin script that runs dos2unix on text files before checkin.
