[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-9675) releasenotes.html always shows up as modified because of line endings issues

["Colin Patrick McCabe (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9675?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13697058#comment-13697058 ] 

Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-9675:
----------------------------------------------

from the mailing list:

While I agree that it would be nice to fix relnotes.py, it seems to me
that setting svn:eol-style=native should fix the problem completely.
Files with this attribute set are stored internally by subversion with
all newlines as LF, and converted to CRLF as needed.  After all,
eol-style=native would not be very useful if it only applied on
checkout.  Windows users would be constantly checking in CRLF in that
case.

I'm not an svn expert, though, and I haven't tested the above.

> shows up as modified even though I haven't touched it, and I can't check it out or reset to a previous version to make that go away.  The only thing I can do to neutralize it is to put it in a dummy commit, but I have to do this every time I switch branches or rebase.
> This appears to have began after the release notes commit  (8c5676830bb176157b2dc28c48cd3dd0a9712741), and must be due to a line endings change.
