[vorbis-dev] win32sdk -- line ending translation issues

[Chris Wolf]

My mistake claiming that the *.dsw and *.dsp files are cr-lf delimited
in the repository -- although when I check them out with my command line
cvs client (GNU) they *do*  end up cr-lf delimited...

Here is a quote from the definitive CVS manual by "Per Cederqvist"

So I suppose it is up to the CVS client program to perform the
line ending translation of text files upon checkout.  Perhaps
WinCVS does not recognize the "-ko" option.  Just for research
purposes, how does "win32sdk/README.win32sdk" look to you,
in terms of line endings?
