Oh well. I should have said _in theory_ there are no text files with fixed line endings in our svn repository. In fact, it is not difficult to screw this up with svn, and I did so when I created most of the files in the cmake/epa_build tree and forgot to set the svn:eol-style property for each of those new files. Fortunately, in this case the fix was easy; the files in that tree are all text files which allowed me with one svn command to set (revision 12987) svn:eol-style to native for all files under svn control in that tree. In git (at least for new files) you don't have to set anything special; text files are treated as having native line endings by default according to the git documentation. And that is arguably a much better default than the svn case where line endings are under no control at all by default. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
