What I don't understand: Are these files of the kind that needs LF style everywhere and the colleagues just use only machines where LF is native, or are these files needed in LF style on unixoid machines, CRLF style on Windows and you are the only one who has a use case where he needs them LF although the host is Windows?
I believe there can not be a per-file-and-user property svn:eol-style=native_except_for_Visenris_MINGW_workingcopy_where_it_must_be_LF. What happens if you need a working copy on a linux machine? Or this would be a per-file-and-workingcopy property - this could probably be done, but I can hardly imagine a good use case for that. (Well actually, I had the use case that I wanted to disable an svn:external locally because you can exclude a file or directory from a working copy, but not an external - different story.) I would fix that in the build script. Leave the file svn:eol-style=native, have the editors do with it whatever they are used to and create a temporary file with the needed linefeed style as part of the build system. If, on the other hand, these files are normally used in unix environments, and everybody uses them LF style but your colleagues refuse to make that explicit by svn:eol-style=LF, then you have a people problem, not a technical one.

I am telling you, I can't just: "set the svn:eol-style property to LF for those files you work with linux tools with." As I said this property is ok as it is for other people and I can't commit this change in svn properties. My suggestion is very simple: TortoiseSVN surely has a function that processes each occurrence of 'native' and converts it to CRLF in Windows. I just need a per project (repository) property to allow me to change the behavior of that translation function when I need Unix tools, so: 'native' -> LF. I just want to make TortoiseSVN behave like I am in a Unix machine. If anytime I need to use windows tools that need 'native' translated to 'CRLF', I just change the global setting and next time I update the files I will have files with that conversion done.

I can't change the eol-style property of the affected files, because the value 'native' is the right one for pure windows and unix users. The problem is, in windows, sometimes, I work in a mixed environment, with some linux-like tools included in MINGW, so, it is necessary to translate eol-style 'native' to 'LF' not to 'CRLF', what I am asking for is a way to convince TortoiseSVN that I am using unix tools despite running TortoiseSVN in windows. So, when it will see a eol-style 'native' it will use 'LF' like in a unix environment. you can set the svn:eol-style property to LF for those files you work with linux tools with. However if you want different eol-styles depending on what tools you use, then that's not possible. I mean how would svn know which tools you like to use today and which ones tomorrow??? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TortoiseSVN" group.
