MacCvsX has the commandline tool embedded in it's Resources folder  
inside the application package.
There are no commandline options to enforce AppleSingle encoding of  
resource forks, but you should be able to use environment variables  
to do the job.

Alternatively, you can download and install the cvsnt tool from  
<http://cvsvnt.org>, which also supports the same resource fork options.


Do you just want to retrieve files with encoded resource forks from  
the server, or do you want to submit files with resource forks to the  
cvs server?

If you just want to retrieve files from the cvs repository, you don't  
have to do anything special - the embedded cvs tool will recognize  
the format and automatically decode the files.
When submitting files to the cvs repository, you'll need to set some  
environment variables or Internet Config settings to tell cvsgui  
which encoding to use:

the environment variable to set is "MAC_BINARY_TYPES_SINGLE". The  
value you set is a semicolon delimited list of file types.
If you're using MacCvsX 3.3a2 from the sourceforge downloads, you can  
only specify HFS file types.
If you're using a self-built later version, you can specify HFS file  
types and/or filename extensions for the mapping.

Here's an example of how to set it using HFS file types alone:

	setenv MAC_BINARY_TYPES_SINGLE  'RSRC;PNG ;W8bn;'

Here's an example of how to set it using HFS file types + filename  
extensions:

	setenv MAC_BINARY_TYPES_SINGLE  'RSRC;????/rsrc;????/tiff;????/ 
myfancyformat'

In the latter format, each semicolon separated entry contains an HFS  
file type plus an optional filename extension separated by a '/'  
character. For backward compatibility, the filename extension is  
optional. An HFS file type of '????' acts as a wildcard, i.e. in that  
case only the filename extension is considered for matching.
The above example will use the AppleSingle encoding in the following  
cases:
	- the file has an HFS file type of 'RSRC'
	- the file has an extension '.rsrc'
	- the file has an extension '.tiff'
	- the file has an extension '.myfancyformat'
