I've considered that, but it tends to be risky since not all the
windows tools can handle mixed end of lines and it causes problems for
people who don't know that they have to do this to avoid the mine
field. Anyway, how would you feel if you had to live with cf/lf while
developing on linux -- you'd hate it, just like those windows-centric
developers would hate having to live with lf instead of their familiar
cr/lf. Finally, svn is smart enough to automaticlly figure out binary
vs. text files when you add them, so this mixup was a temporary
artifact of how the repository was moved from cvs -- e.g. we lost the
binary vs. text info in cvs.

turns off text conversion on their client, or tag all files as
binary. I mean, all the good programmer's text editors on windows
understand unix line endings, so perhaps automatic cr/lf conversions
just aren't worth it anymore...
just a thought, Brendan.

Hi
Bear:
I'm still having trouble doing a svn diff on the command line in cygwin.
Looks like there are still some lingering problems:
locale/*.po
wxPython/distrib/msw/MSVCIRT.DLL
wxPython/distrib/msw/MSVCP60.DLL
wxPython/distrib/msw/MSVCRT.DLL
wxPython/samples/embedded/embedded.o
wxPython/samples/embedded/embedded
are getting mucked by the end of line conversion since they're
incorrectly listed as text files. One way you can make sure you've got
all the files fixed is to do a fresh checkout on windows, making sure
you're using native eols, do a svn diff in cygwin installed with cr/lf
eols and make sure the diff is empty. Anyone who's done a svn checkout
on windows should probably verify that an svn diff doesn't list files
that you didn't change otherwise we may accidentally checkin a mucked
binary file.
