All that you are missing is good council.
The Subversion dumpfile format is a binary one that just happens to be
(mostly) human readable. If you have versioned files with CRLF line
endings, and you dump that repository, you'll wind up with a dumpfile
that uses LF line endings for the dump meta-data, but CRLFs will
appear in the textual content of those files that have such endings.
This file is likely to break in any text editor, irrespective of OS.
