As with any cross-platform tools, you do need to be careful which tools
you use, and how you use them.
Most modern editors detect and maintain line styles on the fly.
Unfortunately, it is easy to confuse them when line styles are mixed
within a single file.
Fortunately, Cygwin provides the dox2unix and unix2dos commands to
ensure the line style is the one desired throughout the entire file.
This is, in essence, what the svn:native property does for you: Think
of it as being a flag to ensure the "right" one is called, no matter
what line style is used within the repository file itself.
These tools are heavily used when Windows and Linux systems (tools,
files, and file systems) are first mixed, but their use tends to
decrease toward zero over time.
