All revisions of the XML file _should_ have Unix-style EOLs.  I'm not
100% sure they have in the example I showed (I can't verify this
before October, sorry).  But I had the very same symptoms with
different XML files.

The repository is on a mounted Windows share.

BTW, why does `=' (`cvs-mode-diff') from PCL-CVS mode handle EOLs
different to VC?

Bye, Reiner.
