Yes, this caused me all sorts of problem when I first started making patches for mono. The problem is that some files in the repository have CR/LF endings. The world only works if the repository files have LF endings. The CR/LF translation offered by WinCVS only works by converting LF to CR/LF when you run "cvs checkout" and converting CR/LF to LF when you run "cvs checkin". So, when the repository file is CR/LF terminated, the WinCVS conversion gives you CR/CR/LF endings! If your patch file contains diffs for a mixture of CR/LF and LF-ended files, then you'll end up getting very frustrated! One way around this on windows is to use cygwin cvs exclusively. I develop almost exclusively on linux now, and also have CVS access so I haven't suffered problems recently. The best solution is for some brave soul to run a CR/LF->LF filter on a checked-out tree and then commit the results. That'll fix it once and for all. You'd need to use the --ignore-space-change with "cvs diff" for those files if required for a wee while. But it's the Right Thing To Do, I think.
