Problem with CR in cvs log.
Hello everybody, I use cvs 1.11.1p1 in my Linux box (RH7.1). The linux box is the client and the server uses cvsnt (win2000) on a windows machine. I am having a problem with the logging. When I try to do cvs log file the server responds with: cvs server: Logging . cvs [server aborted]: linefeed expected in C:/cvsrepo/test/file.c,v (got 13) I think that the problem is obvious and I have read several mails describing the same problem: The windows use CRLF instead of the LF that the cvs log requires. So my question is what it the correct solution of this problem? For testing purposes, I took a backup of the repository (all *,v files) in my linux box and I applied the dos2unix command. After that the repository was working fine locally. But my question is about the windows machine (where the repository is). What should I do to correct the problem?
