It's not CVS itself, but rather the underlying C library, that's
responsible for this conversion. CVS just goes "putchar('\n')"
(or fputs() or printf() or whatever), and the I/O routines
translate that into the system's local convention (on Unix, of
course, no translation need be done).
So it's not simply a matter of "turning on" an existing
translation scheme, because there isn't one; it'd have to be
written.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea.
