Masterview devel - Jun 2006 - DOS line feeds - can you use unix linefeeds in your editor for new files?

Jeff - thx for spotting that, I was going to warn you to watch out and let
me know if there was a problem with the line endings coming in from my XP
box.  such a pain
 
I''ll see what I can do with either my Eclipse IDE settings or SVN
config so
that anything I commit into the repository has windows cr/lf''s
normalized to
*nix LF''s.  (and in the meantime I''l check/clean manually)
 
Believe there are some SVN settings that can be used to automate platform
line endings when checking in and out, I''ll go look for those when I
get a
chance - best would be to have the repository itself set up in a way that
incoming files are normalized to desired state.

Deb,

I noticed that new files that you created use DOS linefeeds (windows) like
masterview/initializer.rb. Would it be ok to switch your editor to default
to unix linefeeds? Otherwise when unix people open the files depending on
the editor they are using they see a bunch of carriage return chars which
looks pretty ugly. It''s not that big a deal and we can always clean up
afterwards using sed but I thought I would ask. 

Existing files that you edit seem to retain whatever characteristics they
had unix vs DOS linefeeds, so it is mainly on new files.

Not a big deal if it causes you any problem.

Jeff
