You should not worry about how file content is stored in the ,v files, because
this is CVS server internal. SmartCVS always converts the line separators to
the correct line separator for the repository (\n), just like any other
correctly working CVS client.

You only can define what line separator to use for your whole project
(Project|Settings, Text File Options). You can't define that on a per-file
base using CVS. If you need that, then you should use (Smart)SVN or set the
correct line separators locally using a script.
