One thing you can try is the "cvsSync" perl script I wrote:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/cvsenhancements/cvsEnhancements/user/cvsSync
This is intended to be keep multiple copies of a CVS-managed
source tree syncronized with each other without commits. It
can automatically handle end-of-line conversion between the copies.
There is some fairly decent documentation in the comments of in
the script. Pay special attention to the Known Bugs section:
cvsSync is pretty good about never loosing your own changes, but
if you aren't careful you can loose other people's committed
changes (requiring that you manually re-merge them), and/or
cause CVS to generate needless conflicts.
Also note: some of the ways of invoking cvsSync (like "cvsOut")
currently do "cvs admin -l" and/or "cvs edit"; if you don't want
this, you will need to modify the script.
