Re: Forcing DOS line endings on checkout/update

[Noel L Yap]

This should be done by the file system (ie Samba)?  For example, if someone vi'd
a file, you'd have the same problem.

Is it possible to force cvs to use DOS line endings on a Unix-based machine?

I am using  CVSROOT/loginfo  to maintain a local copy which is automatically
update to the HEAD revision when someone does a commit.  This part is
working fine, but the problem is that this "local copy" is really on a SMB
mount point connected to an NT server.  So I'm getting Unix file ending
rather than DOS file endings.  How to I trick cvs into thinking that it is
running in a DOS environment?

This will be eventually used in a production environment, so I would like to
stay away from just running a script to convert the line ending.


Thanks in advance,
