i got a troubles with eol-style options (described in my reqest) -
deveklopers ordinary deal with text, and if project is great then it
wroute in a number of platforms, and thus the sources can make up on
files with different types of EOL. and when another developer got to
edit the file previously commited from another platform, he can got the
difference in every line due to different style of EOL on a work copy
files platform. and so after commit this file, he can`t distinguish what
he edit, because difference beetween versions would be an every line.
IMHO in this situations there is no reason of using SVN, it goes usless.
thus, IMHO, the server should to destinguesh beetween the text and
binaries sources, and allows users to choose EOL style they wish to
work with.
IMHO, the CVS - is good example of this service.
