Forrestbot + SVN = mixed line-endings in HTML

We have a new problem using forrestbot. Part of this could
be my own  
settings, but I am assured by Jeremias that this isn't
completely the  
case. Please see below.

Can't be certain without more info about the specific
problem. However, 
I strongly suspect this is a symptom of 
http://i
ssues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-492

This, in turn, is caused by http:
//issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-656

I'd like to say "its not our fault", but this
Xalan is open source, just 
like Forrest, any one of us could fix the problem. Who will
get the itch 
first?
