If you try and use more than one client, then you are likely to get
into trouble. So, for instance, using both a unix client, and a
wincvs client on the same files will result in line terminator
problems.
You could put a check script into the CVS. Essentially any windows
terminators in the repository are wrong (in a text file obviously).

Most of the people here are using one client only, and although we
have had some problems it generally works. All the Windows emacs users
use dos terminators all the time, even with cygwin CVS.
Good luck.
