Well certainly it takes care of the line feeds if you create
the property svn:eol-style=native at some point after
committing the original file. A dump after that commit shows
the entire file repeated with the new eols ...

But I've adjusted my script now, any files the script identifies
(by extension) as needing svn:eol-style=native are appropriately
translated into the dump file.

I am quite pleased with the result, it certainly seems to solve
my file time-stamp problem well enough. Still to do some more
testing but it looks promising.

Anyone here interested in looking-at/experimenting-with the
powershell script let me know, I am happy to share it. Does
this list accept attachments or can that be done only via
private email?

Thanks again.
