TSVN does not work on AIX or Solaris. How do you checkout the files
on those systems?
If you use TSVN to checkout onto a network file system that you share
with AIX then the line endings will be native to windows e.g. CRLF.

VS is a Windows tool and it only uses CRLF EOL. Don't use it to edit
unix files and things will work better.
Try using an editor that understands line endings. SciTE or Barry's
Emacs work with any EOL.
