bzr-svn and auto props

[Christopher Fedak]

Hello!

I am working on introducing bazaar (1.17) at my workplace.  svn is what we use
now.  In order to introduce dvcs one step at a time, the plan is to use svn as
the central repository for finished work, with bzr checkouts and branches used
by individual contributors in their day to day work.

The problem I've run into arises from the fact that we work on both windows and
mac on the same source tree.  New files added with bzr (and committed with
bzr-svn) have mixed line endings, or have a lot of spurious changes when text
editors helpfully clean them up.  The root of the problem seems to be that we
used to use svn's auto properties feature to set text properties on new text
files, and those properties are not being set when we commit via bzr-svn.

I'd prefer not to have to set all text properties by hand.  Is there a way to
configure bzr and bzr-svn to handle auto-properties in the same manner svn
clients do?  Is there another way (short of not using svn as the central
repository) to design our bzr workflow that circumvents the issue?
