Exactly, I've often wanted the ability to set my "native" EOL to
something other than the one dictated by my platform. For example, it
would be nice to be able to do this on windows (or the equivalent on
unix):
set SVN_NATIVE=LF
svn checkout ...
Why? Well, say I use a Subversion on windows with a cygwin-based
toolset (yes I know there is a cygwin version of Subversion, which in
fact I do currently use, but there may be many other reasons why I
don't want to or can't use it). In that case, it would be nice if one
could control the behavior of "native".
Cheers,
Raman
