chromatic asked me recently whether or not a subversion property
exists for line endings to help keep text files consistent within the
repository. It turns out there is, namely the svn:eol-style property.
This should be set to "LF" so that one has Unix-style end-of-line
characters. I have added a test for this into
t/codingstd/line_endings.t but before I commit it, I thought I'd check
if having all text files have this property set was appropriate
(especially for Windows users).
If noone complains then I'll commit the change, and close this ticket.
svn:eol-style should be set to 'native', so it'll save files with the
line ending the platform expects. the only exceptions i'm aware of are
examples using file io. as the tests are currently designed, these
require svn:eol-style=LF (see t/examples/streams.t for more.)
if you want to make sure this test is platform-friendly before
committing, feel free to attach the patch to this ticket, and i'll run
it on windows.
