I think the "real" answer, the answer that the svn (and arch) developers believe in the heart of hearts is that windows users should be using tools that understand, well, understand and always produce Unix line endings.

Is it practical to require windows users to use tools that understand and produce Unix line endings?

It is not a problem, but it would be odd. Python don't make me do it. Why then should the version control system do it? It's not difficult to find a Windows editor that understands unix line endings, but it would be very easy to forget to ocasionally convert dos files to unix. regards Max M
