Probably other VCSes will do the same thing, but git's the one I already knew (and I'll bet you RCS *does not*" ;-) git also allows you to safely revert commits (or even reach back and create a whole new history, just with the file having the proper EOLs throughout the branch -- this isn't easy, but it can be done safely). It sounds like this program is using the Mac line endings the way Emacs used to -- to "hide" lines from normal processing. It also sounds like you have a real mess on your hands, if Kile and/or the file transfers are randomly changing the EOLs. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
