3 Checkout test files with the Unix LF (0xa) - ID: 986579

Last Update: Comment added ( jerzyk )

Details:

I have some clients using CVS to store their sources.
Some of them use "Checkout test files with the Unix LF
(0xa)", some don't - for different reasons.

When I access the server from home (where I prefer to
work) I have the problem to manage that option by
myself manually. As you may imagine it's easy to forget
to toggle this feature when I jump from project to project
much often.

The result - as you may know - are empty lines in the
source, when I update and commit with UNIX LF and
others update with Windows CRLF.

My wish is that WinCVS could remember this setting
depending on the server/CVSROOT.

Wouldn't this be a nice feature?

Are there others having this problem or is there another
solution I don't know?

thanx, p@

This is unfortunately not yet exposed in the GUI so you'll currently have to do the cvs add -kL (for new files) or cvs admin -kL (for existing files) from the commandline. Apart from that I thought that setting was already remembered per browse location... then again, I never use it.
