To clarify: the warning below ONLY applies if you are using the cygwin
version of cvs to maintain a local repository. If you're just using the
cvs client to access remote (unix-hosted?) repositories, the you don't
need to worry about this.
In other words, if you EVER did the following, using cygwin's cvs:
cvs init
then you need to follow the instructions below. Otherwise, party on.
