The only solution that comes to mind is external to Subversion, i.e.,
keep the files as 8.7 in the repository and have a simple batch file
that renames them to 8.3 on Windows prior to their being used there. Or
you could copy them to 8.3 and use svn:ignore so svn status won't report
on them. The only problem with that solution is if you ever need to
change these files and resubmit them back from the Windows side:
somebody could forget to copy/rename back to the 8.7 format.
Regards,
Joe
