CVS takes care of line end conversions, so yes, there is a "right" line end. The Apache repository is on a *nix box, so the line ends on that system are *nix line ends. When I check out on to a Windows box, my CVS client takes care of presenting me with Windows line ends (as long as the file is not flagged as binary), and then when I check back in, the result is changed to the *nix file, with *nix line ends.
Bad line ends in a CVS text file, as with the files you pointed out, are generally caused by bad (or incorrectly configured) CVS clients. Note that I threw this bug report over the fence to Jakarta Commons, since that is where BeanUtils lives now. It'll be fixed before Struts 1.1 Final is released, and probably much sooner. -- Martin Cooper On Wed, 8 Jan 2003, David Morris wrote: > I added a similar comment to the bugzilla site, but > it never seemed to work so I am responding here. > > I don't know if there is a "right" line end.
