o rly? I haven't been following this thread closely but it seems that your complaint is the classic, "Doctor, it hurts when I do this." Several people in the community have suggested, "Then don't do that." I would take this sage advice (i.e. don't share working copies across platforms) or at least one of the proposed workarounds (I saw the idea of setting eol-style to CRLF; did someone suggest running unix2dos before using the working copy on your Windows box?) rather than complaining that the advice is not helpful. I can't find it right now but there was a presentation about the top ten ways *not* to use Subvesion. One of the entries was about using Subversion in a way that it was not designed to be used. This arises most frequently when people want to use Subversion as a backup mechanism, but I think it applies equally to your desire to use a single working copy across platforms no matter the cost. good luck, tyler
