Hi All,

We've got a shop about evenly split between MacOS and Windows users, and we occasionally run into problems with line endings between the LF of MacOS/Unix/Linux and the CR/LF of Windows. I'm wondering if anyone has used Perl (or maybe awk?) in a cvswrapper to do automatic translation between the formats. Any gotchas or pointers I should know about?

Our repository is on a Linux machine, so there shouldn't be any conversion to and from the Macs. But for the Windows machines fetching updates from the repository, will Windows automatically alter line endings when the file is written to the local disk or would you need a local script?

Thanks,
David
