Re: CVS Windows OSX Cross Platform Double Spacing

[r_burns]

One way this could happen is if you copy from a Windows box a file with Win line endings into a Unix sandbox and then cvs commit the files from Unix sandbox.

That could explian your problems esp if you see ^M chars in the ,v files.

You may wanna checkout in a sandbox and do a dos2unix  and then re-commit

the offending files.
