I have never ever heard of any such thing, and I'm very surprised by it. Just to make sure, did you try a different editor? I could imagine crappy tools getting confused by inconsistent line endings or such things. > In both cases the code was VB6. In each case an Exit command > was transposed with an End If line.

What does the diff show if you don't change anything, i.e. is the working copy already modified on checkout? What access method was used on checkout (file, http, https, svn, svn+ssh)? Could it be that some network proxy/filter/censorship/firewall application modifies the network traffic? > I checked in and did a DIFF between the current code and the original > revision, no differences were found. How exactly? SVN doesn't allow you to check in without changes. What does 'svn log' on the repository tell you about the created revision? > We have not been able to repeat this problem. Wait: You have only had this issue a single time? Can you rule out that some user or machine accidentally modified the checked out files? > But since the issue involves End If with Exit commands, different > baselines, different users, and different SVN repositories, I'm at a > loss on where to look next. BTW: What is a "baseline"? SVN doesn't use this term, so what exactly do you mean with it? Also, just to make sure since you have multiple repositories, you didn't fall for the trap that you created one with svnadmin and the others by copying? That would give all repositories the same UUID, which messes with SVN's internals. BTW2: You're sending HTML mail, please try to turn that off for mailinglists. Good luck!
