Is it not true that when I use auto-props with import (setting *.c
files to svn:eol-style=native), that svn DOES change the line
endings? Why are some people arguing that svn should not do what it
already does? And why do you not understand the difference between a
text file and a binary file? In a text file, there are NO special
codes like \r or \n. Only EOL. Any version control system which is
intended for multi-user editing source code needs to be aware of text
files, and Subversion DOES. What is so hard to understand?
