Hi Patrick,
Again, I'll be happy to change the metadata once it is known what the
EOL setting should be. Any file with the "as-is" value will store on
commit whatever line endings are on the client. If a developer does as
I did and inadvertently changes the line endings on his client before
check in, all of the line endings for that file will change in the
repository. The only way to restore it to its original state is to
change them on the client again and recheck them in.
Changing the EOL metadata is a great idea, but what value do you want
all of the "as-is" files (about 60% of the files) to take? And a
related question, when should the end of line metadata for a file be
changed?
My suggestion is that we regiment the EOL setting for all text files to
"native". It looks like we may have started down that path, since about
40% of the text files have that setting.

Generally, I think that the best way to solve these issues is by
changing the metadata, rather than actually changing every line of the
file.
The reason for this is that changing every line of the file makes 'svn
annotate' report unfortunate data.

Hi Craig,
Since the current property setting for this file is "as-is", the checked
in line endings are whatever is on the client. Apparently, in the
course of my editing, I changed them for this pom.xml from Unix to DOS,
and when I checked it in, that is why every line was reported as
changed. Mike brought it to my attention, and I rechecked it in with
the original Unix line endings (once again every line changed.)
However, its EOL property remains unchanged. I'll be happy to change
it, as soon as I know what EOL value text files should have.

Hi David,
I think you should also change the eol property at the same time...
