So for my dev area, I did:
$ svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/test/incubator/sa/trunk spamassassin-head
I downloaded the Win32 binary of svn and tried that. The good news is that the same binary just works under both Win32 and Cygwin.
The bad news is that we have a problem with the repository. All the text files show up with unix style newlines.
Looking in the documentation, the correct thing to do is to have all the text mode files have the property svn:eol-style set to native. It's a real bummer that it isn't the default, but unless you set the property there will be an inconsistency between the files that someone gets when they download to a Windows machine using svn and when they download a tarball or zip file and unpack it with a tar or zip program on Windows.
Umm, I just tried building in Win32 with the unix style newlines there and it worked. Perl, nmake, and VC++ didn't mind. So maybe this isn't so critical, and it might be tedious to add the property to just the text files. But it makes me nervous because it is something that is different from the way the files arrived from CVS.
