Essentially, pcbuild.sln is a binary file, and should be treated as such. Maybe it's an error in the Subversion setup that it's treated as text at all... Yes, it certainly seems that way.

Except it isn't a binary file - it's a text file with CRLF line endings. Why would we throw away the chance to get meaningful diffs when Subversion can easily get the line endings correct?

Cheers, Nick.
