RE: Question about "commit" not committing everything

Hi Lasse,

Report it to the SVN mailing list. TSVN is just using the svn libraries for
its actions.

...if the svn:eol-style property is set. If the property is not set, svn
neither reports inconsistencies nor touches the line endings.

svn:eol-style=native is normally the best choice, since checkouts on unix
will have LF on Windows CR+LF and CR on systems that use CR.

Normally I do it this way. I ignore unversioned files and do not add from
the commit dialog directly.

Are you adding files with inconsistent line endings from the commit dialog?
When I do this with a current nightly, the commit fails and I get an
"inconsistent newlines" error message in the commit dialog. This happens
every time i try. I can't commit this file and the file doesn't have the
svn:eol-style property set.
I can't reproduce this behavior. I can't commit the file with inconsistent
newlines.

Have you tried a with recent nightly of TortoiseSVN? It is linked against
subversion 1.5.0. Maybe the problem is already fixed in the 1.5.0 libraries.
