[svk-users] Mirroring doesn't retain eol-type

[Cheng-Lung Sung]

Hi, 

    Do you mean propset svn:eol-type to native on a repos created on Windows
    will disappear when mirror those files on a *nix system?

    I've tried setting svn:eol-type to native on a repository create on BSD
    and propset some files 'svn:eol-type => native' on a Windows XP Desktop
    and then mirrored the project back to the BSD system. And it works.

    So the only difference I guess is repos created on Windows/*nix, I'll do 
    another shot.
