Version Control -- CVS log problem on WinXP

Version Control -- CVS log problem on WinXP

[Edwin Stearns]

I really like to use the Version Control commands on my CVS files, but I 
have run into a problem with logs.

After I commit a file using C-x C-q and add an entry to the log, emacs will 
identify the file as an unix file the next time I open it. There are ^M at 
the end of every line. After investigating a little, I found that on the 
most recent log there were two ^M at the end of the first line of a 
multiple line log entry. It looked something like this:

**   Revision 1.6  2003/01/27 17:44:50  edwin^M
**   Blah blah Blah^M^M
**   Blah blah blah^M
**^M


When I removed the last ^M from the line, saved the file and reopened it, 
emacs displayed it correctly.

How can I make sure that emacs doesn't insert this extra control character 
when I do commits?

I am using emacs version 21.2.1 on WinXP

I had similar problems with earlier versions of CVS from the WinCVS
distribution.  Recent versions didn't have the problem.  This can also
probably also happen, if you use Cygwin with its "binary mount" option
or MSYS CVS tools (MSYS always uses "binary mounts").

So try updating to a current WinCVS version or switch to "textmode
mounts", when you are want to use Cygwin.


Hope this helps, benny

I got the most recent WinCVS and I am not using cygwin and I am still 
having the same problem. It looks to me as if there is a problem with the 
Log-Edit mode. Has anybody else seen this problem? I may have to go back to 
using the WinCVS gui for commits.
