DOS textfile mode & files with "0a" line endings: CVS creates "0d0a"

[dmkarr at earthlink dot net (David M. Karr)]

I have a Cygwin installation (based on 1.3.2).  I run Cygwin-XEmacs.  My mounts
are text mode.  When I create a new text file and store it, I can use "od -h"
to show that the lines end with "0a", and not "0d0a".  This is fine.

I have a bunch of files (ending with "0a") that I decided to put into CVS, so
I'm running a "local" CVS server.  I "import"ed the files, then went to another
directory and did a "cvs checkout".  I then viewed several of the text files in
the project, and they all have "^M" characters at the eol.  I used "od -h" to
verify that these files now end with "0d0a" instead of "0a".

I reviewed the Cygwin manual and FAQ and the CVS documentation, and I didn't
notice this kind of issue being addressed.

I'm using the "cvs" built within Cygwin.

Here's my cygcheck output, if it's useful:
