i use wincvs available from http://www.wincvs.org/

this gives me a copy of the source, but i have had problems copying that 
version onto a linux machine to install.  the make install specifically 
hooks into CVS to get the version information.  so make sure you have a 
.version file in your linux install directory

the contents of the .version file should be something like:

CVS-01/08/03-17:27:36

and windows will not let you create a file called ".version" - to do this i 
had to install the unixutils from http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ and used 
"touch" to initially create the filename.

good luck
