Re: Compatible with Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer

What do you do if you're accessing the same filesystem from both Windows and UNIX? What line-ending method do you use for text files, and what do you put for svn:eol-style?

 Hello Support Team,
 We are the users of the Tortoise product and we need to know its compatibility status with Microsoft application.
 Please let us know if the application is compatible with MS Office 2000, MS Office 2010 and Internet Explorer (version 8).

 Hi there. This is the *subversion* mailing list, not the tortoisesvn mailing list, you should really ask over there. However, as a professional multi-platform systems admin and decades long integrator of source control, Microsoft operating systems, UNIX, and Linux since it came out, I I can tell you that it's very powerful and very effective. The recent updates to Subversion 1.7.x as its core have vastly improved its NTFS performance for Windows systems, and been all around good.

 The big booby trap I notice with all Windows/Subversion use is the understandable desire to use "native" end-of-line characters to swap text files gracefully between Linux, Windows, and MacOS. Don't do that: it can bite you *VERY* hard if you access the same network filesystem, such as a CIFS share, from each of those operating systems or with CygWin on Windows.
