Line ending confusion

[wadesworld]

I'm a bit confused on line endings and CVS.

I *thought* what was supposed to happen is that files were to be stored 
in the repository with LF-only, unless they were identified as binary in 
CVSROOT/cvswrappers.  (The repository is on Unix)  When clients check 
out a file, the line endings on a text file should be converted to the 
platform's native format in the working copy.

Is that the correct behavior?

However, it appears files were stored in my repository with CR/LF.  This 
means that when the files are checked out on a DOS platform, you get 
CR/CR/LF.

The files were imported from a directory on the same system on the 
repository, but they  had CR/LF endings since they came from a DOS 
system.  Aha.....would that mean that CVS did not line ending conversion 
because a client was not being used and it assumed that the files had 
the native LF-only line endings?

If my theory is correct, I believe I can correct it by changing the 
files to Unix line endings on my Unix client and committing the files 
again, no?

Any thoughts appreciated.
