Well, that was one of the very first topic discussed on this mailing
list, see:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.trac.devel/5
Now that you raised the topic again, I'll take this opportunity to plea
for a change of this policy.
"native" is a real bother on Windows when you deal with patches; I need
to do countless calls to dos2unix and unix2dos.
Also I don't know since when this happened but now my XEmacs is at times
forgetting about keeping the CRLF encoding and then suddenly writes back
the file as CRLF. Subversion deals with that, but not Mercurial (and I
work a lot with hg and mq on the trac code base).
All in all, due to the choice of "native", this gives me tons of minor
annoyances I've grown to get used to.
But all the better if we could make a big switch to LF everywhere. I
fail to see any good reason why this couldn't be done... perhaps on Mac
this would be a problem?
