Tuukka is right, this is what I am seeing as well. It looks like LyX
"normalizes" ERT TeX code when it saves a document, even if the TeX code
is using a construct such as \begin{verbatim} ... \end{verbatim} that one
would think would prevent such behavior. As the text CVS includes does not
include TeX code like \newline but instead just seperates newlines with a
single <cr> (or <crlf>, depending on your platform), when LyX "normalizes"
the code is squishes it togehter on to one line.
If there is some way to make LyX not touch the *formatting* of TeX code in
an ERT section, that would solve the problem.
If there is a way to make LyX honor <crlf> as a \newline in a certain
section of text, that would solve the problem.
This problem could be generalized as "how to programmatically insert
preformatted text into a .lyx file without using LyX".

I don't use CVS, but trying with hand: when this is saved, it'll look in
.lyx file something like this:
\latex latex
$Log$
When CVS modifies this, it'll replace it with multiple lines:
\latex latex
$Log version string$
Some other
lines here
When this is now loaded back to LyX, the lines are concatenated. When it's
again saved, the result is:
\latex latex
$Log version string$Some otherlines here
...and now CVS probably doesn't understand it anymore.
