If you do an SVN copy (preserving the history) then the properties are
also kept. If you do an ordinary file copy, they they aren't kept when
you do an Add.

Most SVN clients implement some sort of heuristic on file names / mime
types to detect which files need to be given specific properties. These
are however down to what the user doing the add has set up (seen by many
as a design flaw).

I suspect Tortoise may have something that catches .cpp and .h files and
forces them, although I don't know. When we migrated to SVN I fixed and
set properties for all the .cpp and .h files in the audacity source, it
will be interesting to check whether any have crept since then.

Depends what they are. Any binary files certainly shouldn't have it set
(because you don't want character substitutions in binary data). Other
text files probably should, although it's debatable whether it matters
for things like the Makefile and README which are only likely to be
altered on Linux because they are only useful there.
