In the future, please try and use the right properties. svn:eol-style native belongs on files which are line-ending-agnostic, like text files, shell scripts, tcl scripts, and other source files. Patchfiles must *NOT* have svn:eol-style set, as line endings are important in them. Additionally, be careful about svn:executable - there were some patch files with that set. Only set it if your file really needs to be executable. There are still a bunch of svn:executable shell scripts, but not all of them need it (most of them, for example, are passed as an argument to bash). I didn't bother removing it from scripts, but I did remove it from the patchfiles.
Please explain how I can follow your recommendations, or documents I can read to understand this issue. I am totally unfamiliar with this issue and so I won't be able to follow these guidelines. Mark
