End Of Line Character

[Kevin Runde <ru...@hotmail.com>]

I am new to subversion so sorry if this has been asked lots before. I can't find anything on it.
 
I want to set End Of Line Character to native, but I want to do it at a repository level and not on each users machine. To have to configure each end users SVN is a real pain especially when you are working with people spread out with different skill levels. If this is not a feature right now is there any plans to add it?
 
Thanks,
Kevin

No, you can't do that currently, and it's probably complicated to add  
it, so I don't think it's coming soon.

The way you do this with Subversion the way it is today:

- Configure each user's machine with the svn:eol-style auto-props.
- Add a pre-commit hook to the repository which prevents anyone from  
committing files which do not have that property set.
-- In the error message that you print out, you can refer users to a  
web page where they can download a pre-configured config file, so all  
they have to do is drop it into their .subversion directory and be  
ready to go.
