This is a little off the subject of this list, but please bear with me.

We have just begun (only about 6 months ago) controlling our source code
with CVS.   I'm having a problem, several of our software engineers use
windows editor (a personal preference thing). There are countless ^M's in
the files after they edit them.  I remove those ^M's  and commit them to the
repository, when I check them out again, the ^M's are still there.

My boss is paranoid that these updates to the repository and possibly some
of our other changes are not getting commited to the repository. So his
level of confidence in the tool is degrading, even though he knows that
thousands of people are using and that it really does work, it's an
emotional issue around.

 Anybody got a glimmer of what is happening?  How to Correct and how to
avoid (beyond the obvious of bagging windows and dumping it in the river)?

I have a workaround but it's drastic and I'd rather not blow away the
repository ad recreate it if I don't have to.

Thanks in advance,

Thomas
