I don't understand; it would help if you could rephrase using CVS 
terminology - my WinCVS client has "commit" or "update" commands, but no 
"upload" that I'm aware of.

By "upload a file that has Windows line endings from a Unix CVS", do you 
mean "commit a file that has Windows line endings to a CVS running on a 
UNIX system"?

Or maybe "update a file that has Windows line endings from a CVS running on 
a UNIX system"?

Both of those operations happen all the time, yet don't modify line 
endings.
