CRLF in CVS commit message [message #142210]

I've recently starting working for a company where I am the first person
on the team using Eclipse with their existing CVS archives. We've noticed
that all of my CVS commit messages come out doublespaced in the log (but
the
source code is fine). I've never had this occur to me on any other project
I've worked on.

I'm running Eclipse on a Widows XP box and the CVS repository is on a
Linux box.
I've tried changed the system newline property to just a newline but it
had no
effect on the commit messages.

Any ideas?

We work with this combination all the time and have not noticed a
problem. What CVS server version and Eclipse version are you using?

I've had the same problem.

Since you posted the question I did a quick experiment. I created 2
text files in Windows. Then in cygwin I checked one of them into CVS
using the other one as the log entry.

The file that was being checked-in had it's CRLF characters correctly
changed to LF - however the log message that was inserted still had CRLF
characters.

Therefore, it looks like the cvs command is also doing the wrong thing,
not just eclipse.

I'm running CVS version 1.11.6 in Windows/Cygwin, and version 1.11.p1 on
Linux (so it looks like we're long overdue for an upgrade there!)

Am interested in other ppls experiences / any tips.

Also: Regarding this comment:

Are you referring to the 'tip' in the Eclipse cvs-FAQ that says you can
run eclipse like this:

eclipse.exe -vmargs -Dline.separator=\n

WARNING: Don't do this!

I'll post another thread explaining why, because this is a different
topic I wanted to raise.
