I had also assumed that, however it turns our to be incorrect.

In fact doing "forrest site" on any site, including site-author, results in the same error.

I can only assume that it has not raised it's head before because I have not been the first person to commit generated sites to SVN with the eol settings set to "native".


Sorry, i can't parse that. Too many "nots". :-)

All text files should have line-endings appropriate for the local system
OS and should always be 'svn propset svn:eol-style native'.

Sorry, I'll try again, but I'll try by asking a couple of questions rather than stating what I think the problem might be.

Has anyone built a site using Forrest on Windows and then been the first
to commit it to SVN?

Do we know for sure that the Ant SVN tasks pick up the SVN config info?

Given the above observation that the XSL generated comments ahve different line endings to other XSL generated files I can only assume it is something to do with the XSLT parser.


What happens when you do a simple test with Xalan on the commandline.

Not sure, I'll do that soon.

For now I have put a workaround in place in the buildfile (uses an ant task to fix the line endings). I'll also place an issue on the issue tracker to remind us of this.


I saw that. However i couldn't understand why it was converting
them to UNIX line-endings regardless of which OS the user is on.
Do we need to detect the OS?

I converted to UNIX more out of habit than design. But it works for me and I'm on Windows so I'm happy.

I have not heard of this problem before. At Cocoon and Incubator,
people on various operating systems generate the website and commit
the result to SVN, with no problems.

Yes, but they don't do what we are doing with docs generated by Forrest and then imported into SVN by ant tasks.
