When svn:eol-style=native, the file is stored in the repository with LF line feeds. (See "repository normal form" --- LF line feeds and contracted $Keywords$.) I assume you have cases where svn:eol-style was set on a file partway through its history. Due to the above implementation detail, I wonder if you'll find that the behaviour differs for setting svn:eol-style=native on a file that was CRLF beforehand compared to setting it on a file that was LF beforehand... I suspect svn's diff algorithm will _not_ normalise the EOL style on revisions that didn't have the property set, but perhaps that's exactly what you'll be doing. > Thanks in advance and kind regards, > André > -- > Greetings... > From: Andre Colomb <acol...@schickhardt.org> >
