Could also be getting committed as binary. Check the file's info to see
whether it's listed as a text file or a binary file.
If it's marked as a binary file and you don't think it should be, then
check whether the file is plain ASCII or whether it's been saved as
UTF8. I don't think Subversion handles UTF8 or Unicode files properly
yet. Though I could be wrong.
