I think the fix for this is to set svn:eol-style to "native" on this file. It's set on many other files, just not on this one:
cmccabe@keter:~/hadoopST/trunk> svn propget svn:eol-style ./hadoop-project-dist/README.txt native cmccabe@keter:~/hadoopST/trunk> svn propget svn:eol-style ./hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/src/main/docs/releasenotes.html cmccabe@keter:~/hadoopST/trunk> It might also be a good idea to run dos2unix on it. I thought that in general we wanted to have 'LF' everywhere, so perhaps we should add this to the patch.sh script to prevent this from re-occurring.
