How do you deal with the fact that different files have different translation symbols?
lines? I put the file alternately under Windows and under Linux in
RCS, and as a result received the following revision numbers in the RCS file:
1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.2
That is, as I understand it, everything went wrong because of unnecessary or missing
CR and LF. Yes, the file ALWAYS has a CR+LF line feed. That is, it’s everything
Does it also depend on the RCS version? Creepy. And it's even worse - with
when extracting files back, there is always no CR in the line where $Log$.
Vim does not load such files normally...
I don’t even know what to do, the only bright thought that comes to me is
head - translate all files into Unix (LF only) translation
lines. But this is not possible for all files. I wonder how such
problems are solved in the presence of a large number of “multi-system”
users? CVS, as far as I understand, suffers from all the same
shortcomings? :-(
