Well, for XML Files this is not a big problem usually, but

I don't see any such conventions documented (which doesn't
mean there's no project standard):

Within the ASF in general I see a wide-spread use of the "native"
setting.
SVN handles this whole area better than CVS. According to the official doc
(several versions available at:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/)
"Note that Subversion actually stores the files in the repository using
normalized LF EOL markers regardless of the operating system. This is
basically transparent to the user, though."
Hi Victor,
thanks for this. I had basically come to the same conclusion, but wasn't
100% sure. I am glad you have confirmed my suspicions.
