Could someone run over a quick pros and cons of using autoprops, with
the configuration default on a unix system (obviously uncommented to
work):

# enable-auto-props = yes

### Section for configuring automatic properties.
### The format of the entries is:
### file-name-pattern = propname[=value][;propname[=value]...]
### The file-name-pattern can contain wildcards (such as '*' and
### '?'). All entries which match will be applied to the file.
### Note that auto-props functionality must be enabled, which
### is typically done by setting the 'enable-auto-props' option.
# [auto-props]
# *.c = svn:eol-style=native
# *.cpp = svn:eol-style=native
# *.h = svn:eol-style=native
# *.dsp = svn:eol-style=CRLF
# *.dsw = svn:eol-style=CRLF
# *.sh = svn:eol-style=native;svn:executable
# *.txt = svn:eol-style=native
# *.png = svn:mime-type=image/png
# *.jpg = svn:mime-type=image/jpeg
# Makefile = svn:eol-style=native

Will the svn:eol-style=native cause me any problems running on a Mac
(UNIX)?

If not, why is the default for it to be commented out?

I do see the occasional pdf not get flagged as binary, but then I just
add it myself (when I see it and remember!).

Thanks,
Doug
