That is the root of your problem. You should *NEVER* install cygwin
with Unix line endings -- if you want a Unix-like system, you know where
to find it. Having some of your tools use one line-ending convention
and others another is a sure recipe for insanity, catastrophe, or both.

What do you mean by "causing merges to panick"? I can see causing the
developer to panic since the entire file will be completely different
from CVS's perspective, but CVS shouldn't have a problem with it.
