Unfortunately, I'm positive that nobody has used the Unix linefeed option. In fact I've experienced it on my machine as well, but only intermittently. Sometimes it converts the line endings on a new add, sometimes on a modification. Is linefeed conversion processed by the server or the client application? regards, Eric -----Original Message----- From: Glen Starrett [mailto:grstarrett at cox.net] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 9:36 PM To: Cvsnt mail list (E-mail) Subject: Re: [cvsnt] Linefeed conversion problems Eric Nicholson wrote: >Just recently CVS has started intermittently committing files without >stripping off carriage returns.

Look at the diffs, figure out when the CRCRLF was first introduced, and then you'll find the person who was most likely experimenting with the settings. -- Glen Starrett --(shameless plug)-- Help Scotty get his star: http://www.ScottysStar.com/ _______________________________________________ cvsnt mailing list cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt https://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/en.asp#downcvs
