I seem to recall that svnsync will fix the line endings as it syncs the log entries. I could be wrong though because I see that svnsync has a --source-prop-encoding option that we added for fixing non UTF8 log messages. So it is possible I am confusing with that option. I would try it though since it is a a simple method to use. -- Thanks Mark Phippard http://markphip.blogspot.com/
