This really defeats the object of using CVS at all.  CVS is designed for

storing text.  It will store binary but it is very inefficient to do so,
and changes can be lost as there is no merging or enforced locking...
It's OK for a few documents but trying to store your entire source tree
is asking for trouble.

In this case I would recommend using a different source control system.
  You will find it difficult to make cvs do what you want to do and it
will be a very non-optimal solution.

CVSNT converts newlines to the native file format in text only.  This is
almost always what you want (in fact I can't think of a legitimate
reason to do it any other way).
