That could be fixed with nice packaging since many CVS users in Windows
never use a command line anyway since TortoiseCVS is so nice.

(Yet) Another problem is that many windows tools use CR LF as the line ending.
Almost all windows editors default to CRLF and some detect existing line 
endings. No editing with notepad anymore. Of course that is a problem 
regardless of whether a git or cvs client is used. You'll get these big 
everything-changed commits that alter between CRLF and LF.
