There are a lot of archaisms in CVS due to it being stuck in UNIX
land for a long long time:
- "C" locale
- filesystem assumptions
- security-agnostic net protocols

The FAQ-o-matic has a question about unicode, but no answer.

CVSNT is a strong port of the CVS codebase to Win32. Among other
niceties, it supports a -ku option to specify a file as unicode
(normalizing to UTF-8). No idea if it works cross platform.

This might not even be an option if you use java.net's hosting
service, but CVS's erstwhile free/opensource competitors don't seem
to be getting any further. For example, Subversion (the crazy one
that uses WebDAV) is planning (post-1.0) for "progressive multi-lingual
support", but it doesn't support it now.

And whatever happened to JavaSafe?
