6545	Setting the svn:eol-style property to native for all files	John Kern	nobody	I've just checked out django files on a Windows XP machine. If you open py files in vim and write :set ff you get fileformat=dos. Since most django developers work on Mac OS X or Linux (fileformat=unix) this means that you set the svn:eol-style property for these files to native letting subversion to automatically chose the fileformat when a client check out the files. That's a good thing. Unfortunately there are many files with the svn:eol-style property not yet set to native: as a consequence they are checked out on a windows computer as unix files. Of course you can read them with a good text-editor but in notepad they are a mess. As an example see the txt files in the docs folder. I'm not an expert in software development with svn but my suggestion is to set the svn:eol-style property to native for the top folder containing all other folders and files: you will be sure that any file will be correctly checked out and committed also by Windows users (if any) among django developers.		closed	Uncategorized	dev		fixed	svn unix windows eol		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
