Line-ending conversion magic?
Hi,
From what I've read, SVN doesn't automatically do line-ending
conversion - you have to set a property on each file you check in (or
use auto-props).
Our dev machines are Windows, and when checking out files on a Ubuntu
box the line endings are all CRLF. This was a big surprise, because on
our Red Hat box the line endings seem to be magically converted to LF!
The ~/.subversion/config file on the Red Hat box is all commented out
and /etc/subversion/config doesn't exist, so what's doing this? How can
we get this magical behaviour working on our Ubuntu box? :)
Thanks,
John Wright

Right, there is no magic. Subversion performs line-ending translation
on the client side for files on which you've set the svn:eol-style
property (either manually or via auto-props), and doesn't for those
files where you haven't.

Sorry about that, it turns out there's no 'magic' and no LFs. D'oh!
