0D0A => 0A => 0D0A

[René Schade]

Hi,

We are running a CVS server on our Win 2000 server and two people are using
it.

One of us is using cvs (from cygwin) and bash to update files.

The other is using cvs (form cygwin) and DOS to update files.

We both use Emacs 20.6.1.

When the bash user creates a new file using Emacs it contains 0d0a, the
windows newline. When
he adds the file to the repository only 0a is used in the repository.
Fetching the file once again from
the repository gives him the file containing 0d0a, which is just fine.

The DOS user creates a new file using Emacs it contains 0d0a. When he adds
the file to the
repository the repository contains 0d0a. This is not good! Becase when the
bash user wants
to fetch the same file from the repository he gets 0d0d0a. (This is
presented as a ^M in
emacs).

How can it be that the cvs command behaves differently in DOS and Bash?

Or is this not the real problem?
