I don't know what version of SVN you are using but the
version I have handles it fine. If I have a file that
is marked with a 'svn:eol-style' no matter what I do
to the file when I diff it or check it in, it does not
care what I did to the EOLs. I can have the file
mixed or totally convert it to MAC or whatever. It
ignores the EOL changes.
The problem as described in the archives is that when
importing a file or adding a files with mixed EOLs.
The reason for this is because SVN has to know how
many blank lines there are in the file before it can
manage it for you. If I import a file with hex value
"0a 0d 0a 0a" is it supposed to be 3 or 4 blank lines
it is supposed to manage for that "text" file. How
could it possibly know?
I don't make another tool that checks for the 7 out of
1000. SVN will tell me the 7 out of the 1000.
