Wow. Is this really true? I would have probably voted against bzr migration if I knew that bzr still has no proper support for line endings. I assumed that if poor subversion can handle them nicely, bzr would have superb support for this basic and core feature. > There is a way to force the text file format ? The only thing I can suggest at this point (besides yelling at bzr people), is to have a script that goes through all the files and flips the line endings before and after each bzr session. I do not know what scripting you have on Windows, but the script should be simple. Alex.
