--native-eol setting not applied to externals?

I have a set of source code containing a some svn:externals references to other repositories. In each group of code, there are text files marked with the svn:eol-style property, value: native.

If I export all the source without using --native-eol on Windows or UNIX, the text files are all in the expected format (CRLF or LF, respectively).

If I export all the source on Windows, using the --native-eol LF option, the text files in the non-external area are correctly in UNIX LF format. The text files in the external areas are in the native Windows CRLF format. Apparently the --native-eol setting is not applied to the source in the external areas.

If I export all the source on UNIX, using the --native-eol CRLF option, the same problem occurs in reverse. The non-external text files are correctly in Windows CRLF format, and the external text files are in the native LF format.

I think the expected behavior should be to have all the source (main and external) exported in the format specified with the --native-eol option.

As a workaround, we are currently exporting the externals separately, with the appropriate --native-eol option, after exporting the main source with the --ignore-externals option. This works as expected.

The versions of client and servers are all >= 1.6.5.

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks,
Mark
