If you are doing cross-platform work, you generally need to use native
for text files or you will have to script your own conversions. But,
never mix this with any other way of getting files between platforms,
like moving a working copy on a usb drive between windows and linux,
dual-booting with access to a common drive, or sharing a
network-mounted copy. And the cygwin port of svn may think that unix
style text is native even though it is on windows (I think that's an
option somewhere deep inside of cygwin but I've forgotten - the point
of cygwin is to make windows look like unix, so it might even make
sense).
