I haven't tried it yet with the new version control format, but I have successfully used the XML format with svn for a long time. Recent versions of RB use Unix line endings on OS X, but older ones used Mac line endings. Svn worked fine with them too -- you can configure subversion to do line-ending translations as needed. The only problem was when some users of the same project were on Windows, and some were on the Mac. Then it reported the whole file had changed, as you say. If I recall correctly, the XML exporter was changed so that it always writes out with the same line ending it had when reading the file in, and the XML importer was updated to not care which line ending was used. That solved the problem. It sounds like maybe the version control format needs the same treatment. Incidentally, on Mac OS X, I hope that it's using Unix line endings rather than old Mac line endings. We're likely to be working with these files with Unix tools besides svn, and most other Unix tools aren't as forgiving about line endings. This is why the XML export on OS X uses Unix line endings by default (but preserves whatever was there before if it's updating an existing file). The same behavior would be good for the version-control format, too.
