Yes, or use a different editor. :-) I highly recommend vim or emacs. Both will work fine with Unix style line endings. > It has been hard to figure this out (me being new to SVN and all), but > from what I understand, these should be "figured out" when I talk to > the server but only if the eol-style is set correctly. > > Am I off the mark here? You're absolutely correct. Subversion will not touch the line endings unless you tell it to. It errors on the side of preserving file contents, hence the reason you need set the svn:eol-style property to change the line ending style. -John
