| • | Error messages about "inconsistent line ending style" indicate that the file(s) being operated on have mixed line endings (typically Unix and DOS-style) and that one or more of them has the subversion property svn:eol-style set to native. This is a fatal error as subversion stops processing when the condition is found. The fix is to either force the line endings to a consistent state (that is, typically either all unix or all DOS-style) or propdel the svn property if there is a need for mixed line endings. A variety of methods are available to automate conversion of line ending styles; the free utility unix2dos/dos2unix exists for many platforms for example. |
