Convincing win32 command-line client to output forward slashes instead
of backward slashes?
Good afternoon,
Is there any way to tell the win32 svn command-line client to output forward
slashes instead of backward slashes? The backward slashes are a little
inconvenient when using the cygwin shell.
If not, I guess I'll download the source and add the feature myself.
Thanks!

True, and it recently updated to 1.3.0. However, end-of-line characters can
cause..... adventures hopping from CygWin to TortoiseSVN or other Windows
tools if you're not careful to set the CygWin EOL to match that of Windows.

Install the subversion package in cygwin so 'svn' is from /usr/bin
instead of picking up with win32 svn.exe from your path.

You can change your cygwin configuration to use DOS line endings then.
(You can do this by re-running setup.exe, or I think there's a registry
tweak as well.) IIRC internally svn only uses \n, so there should be no
problem with that conversion.

If you want to put it that way, yes, but I' note that forward slash is a valid
file separator char on Windows, so the half-breed part seems inaccurate.
Unusual for a Windows client, perhaps.
To restate things in case it is unclear, all I want is an option to have the svn
win32 command line client output forward slashes instead of backward slashes.
Aside, the cygwin cvs client outputs forward slashes but performs the cr-lf
conversion in the directory is mounted in text mode.
Thanks,

So you want a client that is a half-breed mutant of Windows and Unix? You
want the forward slashes from Unix, but the line endings from Windows?

You might be better off pursuing that issue, or searching for it:
http://svn.haxx.se/
It sounds like the Cygwin version of the command line might just consider
"lf" to be the native line ending in all cases.
I'd suggest reposting with a new subject if you do not find anything. It
would be more likely to be spotted by one of the maintainers.

The cygwin version appears to have the problem of not handling an svn:eol-style
of native the way we want. It appears to not do the lf to cr-lf conversion on
checkout even if the directory is mounted in text mode, which would be OK except
that it makes me suspect that it also does not do the cr-lf to lf conversion on
checkin, which we want.

Have you tried using the Cygwin version of the command line? I would
assume it would output backslashes.
