"cvs

"cvs

I don't think that d2u does anything on text mounts. I may be wrong.
(Because, when it writes, cygwin inserts ^M's.)
When you open the unaltered file in vim, does it show [dos] in the
status line? Ditto for the indented file.

another thing to try:
grab a fresh window.h, where cvs diff shows nothing.
touch window.h - then try cvs diff again.

If this shows every line different, cvs/diff/rcs is broken with respect
to text mode. If this doesn't show every line different, I'll scratch my
head a little too.
