RE: UTF-16 files and inconsistent line endings

Hi all,
Another problem with UTF, now it is problem when merging 2 files which are UTF8 (BOM) The file on local HDD is still UTF8, but the file from repository is ANSI :-()
IdFromKodGenerator.cs.merge-left.r43343 - ANSI but in trunk (from I'm doing merge is UTF-8)
IdFromKodGenerator.cs.merge-right.r43356 - branch into I'm merging is UTF-8.

Can you help me with that?
A.

Subversion doesn't support UTF-16 as text file, it treats it as unknown (raw
binary) file...

...and that doesn't mix well with this text-specific setting.

You could try using UTF-8 instead, though I'm not sure how to explain that to
MSVC, maybe just storing with a BOM is enough. MSVC allows saving as UTF-8
when choosing "save as" in the "save" button's drop-down list, notepad.exe
does that if you save as UTF-8, IIRC.

Simply deleting the svn:eol-style property would also silence the warning.
