Might be problems with CR-LF translation, either you have your repository on a text-mode mount point or you are using csh; both of those will get you CR-LF translation when cvs is not expecting any, and this is Cygwin specific. Something similar could be caused by not declaring binaries in the repository's cvswrappers. Again something is translating CR-LF to LF and cvs is waiting for a number of bytes to arrive but translation has cut the file short. Solution: use only binary mounts, try another shell (bash works fine), define binary types of files in cvswrappers.
