Re: CTRL-M and CTRL-J characters in files

[Steve deRosier]

The line ending "conversion" happens with every (relevant) command that cvs 
does.  Checkouts, commits, updates, exports, etc.  Different OSes use different line 
endings on text files.  CVS deals with text files, and so handles this very nicely. (but, 
see the earlier comment about the -kb flags)
