Re: Ignoring whitespace and CR/LF when checking into repository

[Antony Paul]

These make me ask more questions. 

What is the default line ending character for ASCII files store in a
repository ?. Is this varies from OS to OS ?.
Does CVS client or server is supposed to perform the line ending
character conversion when a ASCII file is committed ?

Now the root cause of my problem is that when checked in by windows
developers using Eclipse it have CR/LF as line ending character and it
is stored as it is. Now I want that all files must be stored in Unix
format.
