I am moving between Windows and Linux/Unix all the time. The difference between line endings is seldom a problem for text files but the way some systems bend over backwards try to "help" you with this non-problem is what actually causes the problems. Why did the designers of SVN allow this? !! Tim, said earlier that source archive systems should NEVER modify the source they are asked to store and I strongly agree. > I faintly remember that Tim said something about some files > that have numbers in them counting the bytes to access the > data. I think it is funny that these files have an ascii text string (possibly varying in length) that represents the byte offset. It is a strange mixture of paradigms but I guess it is ok. > If a checkout changes the line-endings the count is wrong. > So please tell me what filetypes should keep/get the > > svn:eol-style=native > > property (ie change to native line endings at checkout). > Actually my understanding is that if we remove the svn:eol-style properties from all files and set that as the default, then SVN will just leave all the files alone. > For some files I prefer to remove the "eol-style" property, > because they are not really source files (like .ps and .eps > files, for example). I think we should remove it from all files and make that the default.
