Tortoise is changing file ending on update; I want Unix lines preserved
Larry A. Taylor
I use tortoise/subversion to develop code in the CMU Sphinx project,
https://cmusphinx.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cmusphinx/trunk
This project spans unix/linux machines and Windows versions. The Windows
versions usually use Cygwin to work in a linux style environment. Some
of the Cygwin development tools need linux line endings.
Things were working fine until recently -- don't know exactly when. Now,
Tortoise has taken to changing the original LF to the Windows CRLF, even
if I intend to use it in the Cygwin environment. This has caused many
errors, and it took me a while to trace it back to subversion.
Is there any way to preserve original line endings, even if downloading
it to Windows? Also, I want line endings to be significant when
comparing with previous versions, perhaps with a configurable option.

Set the svn:eol-style property on those files to "LF".

Note: Cygwin is not Windows! This means that svn behaves differently depending
on whether you install the Cygwin version or the MS Windows version. Further,
even Cygwin itself can be configured differently, in particular concerning
the line endings, so that's another thing to look at.

Yep, user error. ;)

SVN does so by default, you have to explicitly tell it to mess with the line
endings, see the mentioned svn:eol-style property. Also take a look at
your "autoprops", which may or may not be appropriate for your project. A
third option to look at would be pre-commit hooks that check for proper line
endings.

Take a look at the settings in the diff dialog, you can control how much
whitespace is significant there.
