Yes. And I found out why:
<quote> It's highly recommended not to access your repository (that was checked out with TortoiseCVS, CVSNT or WinCVS) using Unix-style CVS clients (like Linux's or Cygwin's) because of line ending incompatibilities.
When you install Cygwin, you get the choice of whether to use Windows newlines or Unix newlines. The only reason I can see that you might want to use Unix newlines is if you were going to cross-mount your CVS tree between a Windows and a Unix box. If you set Cygwin to use Windows newlines you won't have these problems. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
