Unfortunately, we weren't able to find a satisfiable solution for the eol difference between windows (crlf) and unix (lf). On subversion, there was the famous eol-property. It was cumbersome to use but it worked.

If the branch contains the unix line ending (lf), all line endings an a windows working tree are transferred to crlf. That's perfect. But after this transformation, all files are marked as modified because they contain changes.

What does 'bzr diff' actually give you as the changes to the files? It
is possible that this is more of a display issue.

It is also possible that you have subtle issues with line endings (like
some of them are actually stored as crlf in the repository).

Hello John

When I do 'bzr diff', I see each line of the project. Eeach line in which lf was transferred to crlf.

Yes, that is the case. Some Windows line endings are in the project because people sometimes committed wrongly.

Then it *will* be changing crlf back to lf in the repository, and the
diff is accurate.
