Another potential source of confusion could be DOS-style text files checked in as binary files (from any CVS client on any OS).
BTW, Windows applications are often more forgiving about end-of-line style than Unix applications. I've been living and working 'incorrectly' for some years now. Those few text files that absolutely must be DOS-style are anyway of little use in a sandbox on a Unix workstation. So all my text files are Unix-style, and a few of them have a CR at the end of each line. kind regards Peter Ring -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Larry Jones Sent: 1. januar 1601 01:00 To: Willi Richert Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Line Breaks Willi Richert writes: > > the CVS doc says that it handles the different > line breaks of windows and unix platforms by itself. > I.e. if I check out a file under unix which was > checked in under windows I get the unix line breaks. > > Is that true?

WinCVS and the cygwin version of CVS can both be configured to work incorrectly, using Unix line endings on Windows. -Larry Jones All girls should be shipped to Pluto--that's what I say. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
