This can happen easily using the command-line client on OS X. When you do so, because the command-line client is a Unix program, it assumes that the native file format is Unix. Since it's a Unix client going into a Unix repository, it performs no line feed conversion. Therefore, if you added a file with Mac line endings (CR only), they'll get stored in the repository that way.

This is exactly the problem I just stumbled over with Windows/Cygwin now happening with Mac/OSX. I think this illuminates a need to be able to canonicalize line endings as part of the commit operation. Is there a hook that can permit a script to be run over a file during commit? I have noticed mention on this list of many hooks, but can't find the docs for 'em (I rely on Cederqvist).

I would really like to have such a hook. In fact, it would be desireable to have line ending canonicalization scripts ready with CVS, to be turned on with a switch of some sort. And world peace, that'd be nice, too...

        Seriously, what are my options for getting CVS to manage this?
