[BOOK] svndumpfilter clarification

[Josh Knowles <jo...@wwp.com>]

First off I wanted to say thanks to all of the developers who put the
time into the great documentation, it's nice to see an open-source
project that a novice user can actually get configured without to much
confusion.  

One thing which I think needs to be clarified a bit more is in Chapter 5
when dealing with svndumpfilter it should be noted that if you are going
to edit the dump file to change the Node-path and Copyfrom-path you need
to make sure that your editor is not messing with the end-lines when
opening as this will change the MD5 of the files and will cause an error
when you go to load the dump.  Perhaps this is obvious to most, but I
was banging my head for a while with this one.

Thanks again for a great product.

Yes, that sounds like something which would be worth noting.  Would you have time to make an actual patch to the book source (doc/book/book/ch05.xml in the Subversion source code tree) and post it here according to the instructions in the file HACKING?  It would be nice if you would, but no problem if not.  (Of course it would be quicker for an existing developer to do it; I'm just trying to co-opt you into the team :-) )
