The referred to email 13-oct points to this JIRA issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-881

This says there are some problems with line ends when tools are used to
generate websites.
I tried an experiment: we have a XDOC-style website.  I scanned our
XDOC source files and found they were all using x'0A' (unix) line ends (except for one file). On my windows machine, I changed a file that had'0A' line ends
to x'0D0A' line ends, using the Eclipse menu feature under the menu
   file->convert line end delimiters to
I checked this using the Eclipse "search" to look for the x'0D' characters -
they were there whereas they were not there before I ran the command.

Then I generated the website .html files by running XDOC's build.xml ant script.
The generated files showed that one file had changed but it had x'0A' (unix)
line ends, not Windows line ends. In fact, in order to get it to change at all, I had to actually change some text. Just changing the line-end style did not
cause the XDOC processing to update the target html file.

So - if you're using XDOC to generate the files,
perhaps the generated files are going to be OK.

See http://www.apache.org/dev/version-control.html#https-svn, specifically
the last two paragraphs, starting with "Committers will need to properly
..."  This is why Roy made his comment to Garrett expressing displeasure
that SVN doesn't permit us to enforce it from the server side.

If you recall, you trotted out that when I faced the same issue
(13-Oct).  While it may not be incorrect in itself, it's neither the
issue here nor was it then.
