SVN client 1.5.0 trouble on Windows
Hi all!
I'm an SVN newbie and only use the client part to export sources from
some repositories. I'm running
<http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/43074/svn-win32-1.5.0.zip>
on Windows 2000 SP4.
Whenever I export sources all files have CRLF line endings, but I need
LF endings for a specific file. I already changed
"%APPDATA%\Subversion\config" file to activate "enable-auto-props" and
added "foo.dat = svn:eol-style=LF" to the "auto-props" section, but it
doesn't make any difference. Still CRLF.
What am I doing wrong? Or is it a bug?

Auto props will make svn add that svn:eol-style property to newly added files.
For existing files, you'll have to add the property manually:
c:\> svn propset "svn:eol-style" "LF" foo.dat
c:\> svn commit foo.dat -m "Add eolstyle property."
Note that this property does not only work for you, but for all other people
exporting/checking out that particular file.

svn export --native-eol LF
It cannot do it for checkout because how could it then properly
validate the line endings when you commit.

If they have a file or set of files that should specifically have LF
as line endings for some reason, then they have set the wrong value on
those files and someone should tell them so.

But I'm NOT the maintainer of that SVN repository, so I don't have any
influence.

The larger point is that if you did not want CRLF line endings on
windows then you should not have gone to the effort of setting
svn:eol-style = native in the first place. Subversion is just doing
what it was asked.

Thanks, but I've already read the manual. ;-) And except Microsoft's
Notepad any recent text editor on Windows supports CR, CRLF, and LF line
endings.

I see, but why does the SVN client not allow changing line endings on
the fly during export or checkout?

Subversion is not weird; it does exactly what it's told to do.
It sounds like whoever put the files into this repository has set the
"svn:eol-style" property of these files to "native". This means that
when checked out or exported on Linux or Mac OS X, the files will
have LF line endings, and when checked out or exported on Windows,
the files will have CRLF line endings. This is so that normal text
editors will be able to deal with the text files using the line
ending style that is usual for the operating system in question. You
showed that you're using Windows, so that's why you're getting CRLF
line endings.
If LF line endings are always desired for these files, even on
Windows, then the svn:eol-style property of these files should be set
to LF, not native.

According to the repository maintainer all files have UNIX-style LF line
endings.

I already do this as a work around, but I can't believe that SVN is that
kind of "weird".

That's not the problem as there exist many such tools for Windows.

I
believe that these auto-props will be set only when you add a new file
in the
repository. They won't affect existing files, and certainly not
in the
context of an export. If the file "foo.dat" has CRLF line endings
in the
repository, I think that your only option is to simply convert it
to "LF"
line endings locally post export. A utility such as "recode"
will do the
trick, but I don't know whether it's available natively for
Windows.
