You can even use them (literally) simultaneously. Subversion introduced an appropriate locking mechanics to ensure as much as possible that all transactions are atomic. But, as you pointed out, they all must be of the same version. > I've always been wary of that due to fear > of subtle differences in working copy format. Working copy format is dictated by the Subversion client layer http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.developer.layerlib.html#svn.developer.layerlib.client not by a program or moon phase. > Character encoding and line endings are two possible trouble spots that come > to mind. Subversion on inside using UTF-8.

This could only happen, if you intentionally set svn:eol-style to "native". Otherwise, it will preserve line endings, or even convert them to the desired format upon submission. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdaemon@freemail.ru) 17.11.2011, <22:52> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
