Problem
Frequently (but not every time) when using CVS to check in files like: .java, .cs, .xml, etc, every line of the file is gets a carriage return.
Example:
File before check-in by a team member:
// Begin file
class Foo
{
public Foo()
{
// Do step 1
// Do step 2
}
}
// End file
File when checked out by a team member:
// Begin file
class Foo
{
public Foo()
{
// Do step 1
// Do step 2
}
}
// End file
Development Environment
- NetBeans 6.8 and now 6.9 (the problem occurred when using 6.8 as well).
- Visual Studio 2008 and 2010.
- Repository: CVS; checkins and checkouts done from Cygwin bash shell.
- Operating system: Widows XP Professional.
What I Have Tried
I tried changing the value: build.compiler.emacs=true within NetBeans under Tools->Options, thinking this might be causing some kind of Unix/Windows translation problem when checking in? This made no difference.
Am I missing something about what happens to a file when it gets checked into CVS in a Windows/IDE/Cygwin stack that can cause this problem?
Thanks for your help,
