Commit Fails After Changing EOL Style?

[a178235 <a1...@yahoo.com>]

If I checkout files from the SVN repository that have the eol-style property set to native using Windows, then edit one of the files changing the EOL from CRLF to LF, and then commit the files, will the commit fail?

Why don't you try it and see what happens?

It should "just work": Subversion should normalise the linefeeds to  
the format you indicate in svn:eol-style.

If it doesn't work for you, please show us the command you executed  
and the error message you got.

I believe the only time when Subversion complains regarding the  
svn:eol-style property is when the file contains more than one kind  
of EOL style -- for example, most of the file uses Unix linefeeds,  
but some lines are separated with DOS linefeeds. In this case,  
Subversion will balk and you'll have to make the file have consistent  
linefeeds first. We get this occasionally when some of our developers  
have forgotten to set some important settings properly in UltraEdit.
