I have discovered a bug in the Diff and the Conflict Editor. It does not
seem to differentiate between different line ending types. For instance to
prove this I created two simple text files with the same text in it but
saved one in UNIX text format and one in windows text format. When I diff
these two files they appear the same even though SVN will differentiate them
as completely different files. I believe it should show them as two
completely different files.
A second bug I believe is the same as the above, but I have not had time to
dig in the code to check if it is, is that when updating a file in UNIX text
format and the repository contains a file that is in windows text format.
It will register a conflict but in the conflict editor shows no conflicts.
When the conflict is resolved it will totally mess the file up by putting
them together like a file that has not been resolved.
If there are any questions about this or about my procedures for verifying
this let me know. Thanks.
