Hi Ryan,

Thanks for you continued support.
Please find listed below the property on 2 files.
One gets corrupted (Sensis_Classifieds_J2EE_Framework.doc) the
other is fine (Sensis_Classifieds_Logging.doc)

Are there any file size limitation?

lakshman@bart:~/Common-trunk > svn proplist
xdocs/Sensis_Classifieds_Logging.doc
Properties on 'xdocs/Sensis_Classifieds_Logging.doc':
  svn:mime-type
  svn:keywords

lakshman@bart:~/Common-trunk > svn proplist
xdocs/Sensis_Classifieds_J2EE_Framework.doc
Properties on 'xdocs/Sensis_Classifieds_J2EE_Framework.doc':

  svn:keywords

lakshman@bart:~/Common-trunk > svn propget svn:mime-type

application/octet-stream
lakshman@bart:~/Common-trunk > svn propget svn:mime-type

I even set auto-prop ==> *.doc = svn:eol-style=CRLF

Thanks

Perhaps you have set the svn:eol-style property on this file, and
Subversion dutifully converted the newlines for you. Since this is a
binary file, not a text file, this obviously corrupts the file.
Therefore you should not set the svn:eol-style property on binary
files. Perhaps you have an auto-props rule that sets svn:eol-style
indiscriminately on all kinds of files? If so, you should change your
auto-props to only set the property on files you know to be plain text.
