Couldn't you just let svn use the svn:eol-style to get the end-of-line characters right on files that are specifically for unix (for example the configure script mentioned in the bug report) in all packages? I checked in svn, and the configure script does have its svn:eol-style set properly to LF.
I set svn:eol-style for shell scripts in 1.38. This issue had come up several times and everyone seemed to think it was a good idea. 2009/2/14 Rene Rivera <grafikrobot@gmail.com>:
That wouldn't solve the problem for environments/toolsets that can use the configure, Makefiles, etc. in CRLF form. In particular it would cause grief for MinGW and Cygwin/CRLF users (I'm one of those).
How does it cause grief? Daniel
