If you're using cygwin like that then that's a fast way to repository corruption - all it takes is someone to edit a file in notepad and you're going to have to hand edit the RCS files to get it sorted out (that's *if* you catch it fast enough to be able to do that). -k+L lets the client keep its proper cr/lf detection/conversion so this scenario is fixed (the CRs added by notepad are automatically stripped). And of course a cvsnt server already corrects this server side for older clients. There's an argument for -k+L to work with non-cvsnt servers (since it's mostly a client side option this should be techincally possible).. but I'm not sure how you could store it properly though.. the client doesn't really maintain much state.
