In Notepad, can you move your cursor below the last line of text in the
file? If not, there won't be a newline after the final line. Under
Linux, try "od -c test2.sh | more" and verify that there is a "\n" at
the very end of the listing. If not, you'll need to add one in Notepad,
Komodo, or your favorite Linux editor.

I have no idea why you would see this problem only with "svn:eol-style"
defined (if in fact this is the problem).
