Who performs the CRLF to LF conversion during a commit, the server or
the client?
It seems that the 1.5 client sent the file including the CRLF to the
server instead of converting to LF during commit. A svn diff of the
changed file shows the eol-style change for each line. I still need to
verify that that CRLF are really present on the server.
