Ha! tools/build/v2/engine/build.bat just has newlines. Yet it has cr/lf line endings in svn.
So that's why on Windows autocrlf = true is required. It also shows that conversion's treatment of line endings is inconsistent - apparently bootstrap.bat does not have CR stripped but tools/build does have them stripped.
The difference appears to because:
svn propget svn:eol-style trunk\bootstrap.bat CRLF
svn propget svn:eol-style trunk\tools\build\v2\engine\build.bat native
It sounds like the conversion doesn't handle svn:eol-style=CRLF correctly.
What do you consider to be "correct" handling? If you can figure out what's really desired, we can easily implement it. Or, maybe Niall's patch already implements what you want. So far, though, there have been so many emphatic demands from the community that no history be "lost," that we have been extremely reluctant to process the file contents as part of the conversion.
