The reason I asked is because I noticed that many files in the "en" tree and also in the translations do not have the correct values for the necessary attributes -- "svn:eol-style" and "svn:keywords". Sometimes these attributes are missing. And I thought about correcting these issues. I understand the implications of making changes in many files of the "en" tree. I learned my lesson last time I did it :-) The translated files which are up-to-date must be updated after changing the "en" file. What do you think? Is it worth doing such a clean-up?
