I do want svn:eol-style set on those in case somebody checks out a working copy on Windows, modifies those files and checks them back in. That would introduce CRLFs into them and gratuitous diffs.

I'm of the mind that mostly everything should have svn:eol-style set except for those files that shouldn't have it, such as the patch files.

Ok, I guess that's a valid reason to do it.

There's 5 .txt files (actually 7, but 2 are actually patches of .txt files), which are the only files I can definitively say don't care about line endings. Those are also the only files in which there's a real good reason to have native line endings.

Which are those?

The would be the files that end in .txt. I'm sure you can find them (the 2 patchfiles that end in .txt start with the word patch, so it's easy to figure out which ones they are).

I disagree. Take it off of the */*/patch* and the 200 other patches, which I guess are poorly named then since they don't start with the word patch, and leave everything else alone.

Granted your pass is less work, but it results in a less correct repository.

Alright, I guess I'll do it that way.

I did a pass through Portfiles a while ago to set it on every Portfile.
