Actually, this might have to do with Geir's new Mac!!!

"New line" sequences in:
  Linux    => "\n"     or "\x0A"
  Windows  => "\r\n"   or "\x0D\x0A"
  Mac      => "\n\r"   or "\x0A\x0D"

With all the smart tools (CVS stuff included) editing Velocity's text and
trying to convert between one OS sequence to the other, I wonder if one of
them is not loosing the right sequence somewhere.

It is even worse if the tool is only trying to interpret a bit of the text,
like it happens with a diff or an editor that just changes what it edits.

The usual mix was Windows + Linux. With a new sequence added to the mix,
maybe something went wrong somewhere... and maybe it got wrong in more than
one step. (I am imagining these sequences going from tool to tool and being
processed like the state of some weird random state machine.)


Have fun,
Paulo
