Oh... Had this issue been brought up for SVN, or in general? Before I posted, I had checked on this mailing list (and others), but I could not find it being reported before. > Why doesn't the Cygwin SVN build simply just #define WIN32 (or > whatever it takes) so the code which is _already in SVN_ to work > around this problem is actually used to fix the issue?

(If > there is, please feel free to flame me :) As we have seen from other responses, there are some reasons why this is not done. Anyway, this reminds me of another problem: Personally, I install Cygwin with DOS line endings (CR/LF). That's the reason why I have built CVS.EXE myself some moons ago ;), as the pre-built version did not like this setup. (IIRC, the outputs were garbled in many places. At the time when I tested it, it was a known issue on the info-cvs mailing list.) At least CVS checks out the text files in the "native" format of the platform - as I am using Cygwin with CR/LF, this is the CR/LF format. Unfortunately, with SVN from Cygwin, this is not true anymore. For the Cygwin version of SVN, the "native" format for text files uses Unix line endings (LF) only. As there a way to get it fixed? Or is it again something for upstream? Best regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R.
