How to update eol-style in repository

[Diederik van Arkel <va...@knoware.nl>]

Hi,

I have an existing repository where several files were added with
svn:eol-style native but using the wrong eol-style for the platform
from which they were added. When I now check these out and modify
anything I get diff claiming the whole file has changed because
the repo contains dos eolns and the wc has unix eolns. Is there
anyway to conveniently update the entire repository to use the
proper eolns?

Thanks,

Diederik van Arkel

Yes, the working copy indeed has the correct eol-style.

I'm referring to svn diff. When I check the copy in .svn/text-base then 
that copy has the
wrong eol-style. (In my case dos). What originally happened is I 
comitted some files with
dos eol-style from a unix machine whith svn:eol-style native using (I 
believe) svn 0.37

Thanks in advance,

The platform from which you added them doesn't matter. If you have set 
svn:eol-style, then the proper eol-style should be applied each time you 
check them out.

When you refer to "diff" are you talking about "svn diff" or some other 
diff tool? The svn client should take the eol style into account, but 
other diff tools might not.
