Re: CVS Problems

I've seen this happen a couple times. I've seen some files *in* the CVS respository with \r\n line endings. This is likely what has caused the problem. CVS converts line endings on update/commit. The repository itself should always have the native line endings. Check the line endings in your file, if you have \r\r\n, then I can tell you that you are on windows, and the repository has a file with \r\n. Best thing to do is fix the line endings to be correct, then commit an EOL FIX. Shane Michael Bretterklieber wrote:

Can anyone enlighten me on why when I do a diff on one of the files for my patch, it tells me the whole file has been changed, when in fact I changed less than 10 lines? It's causing the patch to be too big to get through to the list.

maybe you are having problems with windows cr-line-feeds (\r\n) and unix line-feeds (\r). Maybe you editor filled in windows line-feeds, but in the repository the file is with unix-line-feeds? bye,
