Umm, okay -- if I read the docs correctly, you're suggesting that
I should set the svn:eol-style property on every file in the
repository to "LF"?

Unfortunately I think this would mean substantially modifying
my http server configuration, which is currently being managed
by my web-hosting provider.  I'm pretty sure I don't want to
deal with the hassles of dealing with conflicts between what
the web hosting control panel scripts expect to find and my
own custom Apache installation.

If I were doing all of the system management then it'd be a
much different story; but unfortunately several of my clients
rely heavily on the control panel interfaces to work, and at
present I don't have time or inclination to troubleshoot the
problems that would crop up if I started modifying Apache too
heavily.  So, I'm planning to just continue with the svn:
access to the repository until a better solution presents itself. :-)

Thanks,
