Yes, you can see ^M in the versionfile foo,v while output. This
isn't the truth for the file foo,v on disk, but cvs copies the
contents into a temporary file, which has dos newlines after that.
Then it's opened for reading in binary mode!

I'm using CYGWIN='binmode ntea tty' and only binary mounts.
