Several doc files include Windows EoL chars
-------------------------------------------

                 Key: OPENJPA-896
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-896
             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: docs
            Reporter: Donald Woods
            Priority: Trivial
             Fix For: 2.0.0


Several of the doc files include the Windows Ctrl+M chars at the end of lines 
when checked out to non-Windows platforms (like MacOSX and Linux), due to the 
committer not using the ASF suggested svn config values -

Configuring the Subversion client

Committers will need to properly configure their svn client. One particular 
issue is OS-specific line-endings for text files. When you add a new text file, 
especially when applying patches from Bugzilla, first ensure that the 
line-endings are appropriate for your system, then do ...

svn add test.txt
svn propset svn:eol-style native test.txt

Your svn client can be configured to do that automatically for some common file 
types. Add the contents of the file http://www.apache.org/dev/svn-eol-style.txt 
to your ~/.subversion/config file. [Note: for Windows this is normally found at 
C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Subversion\config]

Some files may need additional properties to be set, for example 
svn:executable=* should be applied to those script files (e.g. .bat, .cgi, 
.cmd, .sh) that are intended to be executed. Since not all such files are 
necessarily intended to be executed, the executable property should not be made 
an automatic default.

However, you should still pay attention to the messages from your svn client 
when you do 'svn commit'.
