Joe, Ryan,
Sorry to clip all the content from the message, but I just have to say:
* the problems you indicate with svn:eol-style are certainly not
Subversion problems:
- cygwin considers LF its line ending, that's just its way to make
it look like another POSIX system...
- moving working copies between systems which have different
line-endings is a problem with or without svn:eol-style: it's a
problem with the environment you work in. If you move your work
through a commit/update cycle, everything works fine. Everything else:
you're on your own (just as you were without Subversion).
* Subversion was intentionally designed not to modify files under
version control until explicitly told to do so. You may not think your
files changed when you want different line-endings, but others may:
say you checked in a subversion dump file. If the system started to
subsitute line endings for you, the file would have been damaged
beyond repair, even though it looked texty. The default is (and
*should stay*) to protect your data.
Please don't project any problems you may have right this instant on
the version control system you're using: your problems are (largely)
unrelated to version control, but to inter-OS moving of files.
bye,
Erik.
