Hi,
We've got a repository containing a lot of text-files committed from
windows systems without the svn:eol-style=native setting. Some
developers now want to work on these from Linux.
I would therefore like to fix the eol-style. Writing a script on linux
to find all the relevant files and run "propset svn:eol-style native" on
them is easy enough. However I've noticed that if the change is
committed from *linux*, then the commit not only changes the file
properties, but also *every line-ending in the file*, ie looking at
diffs between files before and after this change is now pointless.
Committing exactly the same propset change from *windows* just sets the
property without the whitespace problems; checking out on both systems
then works as expected, and diffs between repository versions are sane.
However it's much more convenient to write and run this script from
linux. Is there any way from linux to persuade subversion to just set
the eol-style property?
Thanks,
Simon
