I have since been able to reproduce this using plain Eclipse 3.4.1 (no
RAD required) under Windows with both Subclipse 1.4.8 *and* Subclipse
1.6.2.
In the process, I have discovered a work-around, of a sort.
(1) check out a project form a repository hosted on svnserve 1.6.0
(2) make local changes
(3) commit
(4) enter a commit message of at least two lines length
(5) commit
=> 'SVN Commit' has encountered a problem.
org.tigris.subversion.javahl.ClientException: Wrong or unexpected property value
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Cannot accept non-LF line endings in 'svn:log' property.
=> commit failed.
(6) commit (again)
(7) select the previously entered commit message form <Choose a
previously entered comment>
=> Commit succeeds.
=> It appears that entry into and retrieval from commit log history
normalizes linebreaks implicitly.
IMHO this is something that should be fixed once in core, rather than
N times in all the various clients. I'll post post this to the
original thread on users_at_subversion...
