Unlike with CVS this configuration has to be set by each developer that needs 
windows line-endings; the %BZR_HOME%/bazaar/2.0/rules file that the above page 
talks about is not stored inside the repository or your working directory, I 
believe it's somewhere under your Windows home directory.  As the page says, 
if a value is not given then 'exact' is used, so you get the line endings 
exactly as stored in the repository.

I don't remember you asking about it before, but I think you'll have to fix it 
yourself if you want Windows line endings in your working files.  After you 
add the necessary rule(s) you will have to check out your working tree again 
to get the line-endings in your working files changed, or you can use these 
commands from the <base> directory to remove and re-create them all (unless 
you're using a light checkout, where this won't work):

make distclean
bzr clean-tree		(deletes all unknown files)
bzr shelve --all		(saves any uncommitted changes)
bzr remove-tree		(removes working files)
bzr checkout .		(recreate working files)
bzr unshelve  		(restore uncommitted changes)

By the way my rules file currently contains the following settings to 
configure keyword expansion, but you'd need my version of the Bazaar keywords 
plugin to use them; the "official" keywords plugin is broken.

-------------------------
[name *.html *.php *.xml]
keywords = xml_escape

[name *]
keywords = on
-------------------------

You can get my version of the keywords plugin if you want it by doing this:

cd %BZR_HOME%/bazaar/2.0/plugins
bzr co lp:~anj/bzr-keywords/fix-505038 keywords

then run 'bzr plugins' to check that it's seeing the plugin.

HTH,

- Andrew

PS: In addition to the bug that I subscribed you to earlier, Alex Chen also 
filed 3 others that look to be related and cover Win32 OSD code which you 
understand a lot better than I do.  If you want to receive all bug emails like 
Ralph and I currently do you should go to the URL below and check the "I want
