We've been having problems with ClearCase getting confused when a
locally-edited file ends up with Windows-style newlines is being
compared with a file in the repository which has Unix-style newlines.

I just wanted to check whether this would be an issue with CVS. I
thought I read somewhere that Eclipse will convert the files to use the
platform line endings when it checks the files out from CVS. Is this
true? Does it also convert the line-endings back to the appropriate
style for the CVS repository when you synchronize?

Yes. The CVS plugin will convert EOL for files marked as text on
checkout and commit based on the platform setting.
