Boost adopts an approach using [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s02.html `svn:eol-style` properties] to provide native line endings for users on all platforms. Each text file in the Boost Subversion repository must have its MIME type set appropriately and have the `svn:eol-style` property set to `native`. These settings will be verified by the Subversion repository itself, to keep the repository consistent. |
