Well, on a Mac, I'd recommend BBEdit. For each document, you can set 
the line-end convention (via the little "document" menu in the tool 
bar). You want to set it to "Unix" if you're using the command-line cvs 
client under OS X, or "Macintosh" if you have a Mac CVS client like 
MacCVSPro.

Then you need to find and fix any line-ends that violate the 
convention. "Zap Gremlins..." under the Text menu is the best candidate 
for that, but you can also do a search for "\n" and fix them manually. 
(Note that BBEdit uses Mac line-endings internally, so this will work 
fine even if you're saving to Unix format.)

Then just save your file and you're done.
