Hi Kevan,
It's too late for this exercise, but I discovered by accident that
"all you need to do" to fix line endings is to set the svn:eol-style
property, and svn automatically converts the file to consistent line
endings.
This might have been the right thing to do (or as good as what I did).
svn --force propset svn:eol-style native --targets ~/imperius/files.txt
--force was required because of the inconsistent line endings. I ran
this locally. However, svn diff was then showing every line of every
file as being altered.
When I fixed the line endings and set the property, svn diff showed
only the property changes and no content changes. E.g.:
Property changes on: NOTICE.txt
___________________________________________________________________
Name: svn:eol-style
+ native
For unknown (unfathomable?) reasons, the commits turned out to be a
different matter (apologies for all the noise). So, in the end, either
approach might have been equivalent...
Might have worked better if I had used the url form of files and made
the updates on the server (rather than propset and then commit). E.g.:
svn --force propset svn:eol-style native --message "fix eol-style"
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/imperius/trunk/NOTICE.txt
