[Building Sakai] Possible issues with EOL's on some files

[Steve Swinsburg]

I get this all the time. We take exports of tools we need to customise and then import them into our msub. We do this so our local commit history is clearer. We then refresh them from time to time from the main Sakai branches.

Anyway, major pain, you stage a commit that takes forever to add and then it fails. Subversion really should handle this more gracefully, but I am pretty sure it is because whoever committed the file didn't have this setup in their subversion config:
https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/trunk/svn/config

I get around this by running 'flip' on them to convert the line endings. I actually wrote about this:
http://steveswinsburg.wordpress.com/2011/05/13/recursively-adjust-line-endings-for-a-bunch-of-files/

and you can grab flip from there and compile it for yourself.

cheers,
Steve

I don't know the full extent, but I saw it on a couple *ru.properties files.  Has anyone else had that issue either going from svn to contrib, or perhaps a local repo?
