RCS files have unix line endings (regardless of OS, I believe). The CVS 
client is responsible for the line-ending conversion.

Eclipse has an option "treat all new files as binary" which might be causing 
your problems. cvs does not convert line endings in binary files.

The ,v-files in the repository should not have any CR/LF line endings. I got 
away with using dos2unix -f directly on the respository.
