I don't think OpenSSH has any such behavior -- if you think it does,
perhaps you could find it in the source code. I think it's more likely
that your Cygwin setup is somehow doing this, since Cygwin can do
automatic Unix/DOS end-of-line conversion as part of its operation. There
are even known issues with this and CVS; see:

http://www.gigascale.org/softdevel/faq/23.html

... although this doesn't sound like your particular problem.

In any event, I can't replicate this behavior. I just installed Cygwin on
an XP box, compiled OpenSSH-3.6.1p2, and used the ssh client to do CVS to
a Linux box -- no problems.
