Re: SVN status indicating a file is modified when it's not.

Thanks for the suggestion. Since we are talking about hundreds of
source code files, is there an easy way to set the property without
doing it one file at a time.

Also, just to mention another odd thing about this. If I make a change
to the makefile and commit it on windows myself, "svn status" does not
show the file is modified after the commit even though it is still the
situation where the file itself if in DOS format while the text-base
file is in unix format. It only seems to be a problem when files are
updated via the "svn update" command.
