I am using the original Subversion and I don't know TortoiseSVN so I don't 
know what was the problem. I committed the patch. I didn't add any entry to 
changelog.txt if you want it's up to you.

Note that if you want to ensure that line endings won't be mixed (usually 
CRLF or LF) you may want to add eol-sytle native propery to your files. This 
also ensures that people will get text files using the right encoding when 
checking out the sources. It is a useful feature of SVN but the decision is 
up to you.:)

Using snv you can set the propery easily for the entire vbnc tree like this:
svn propset svn:eol-style native -R vbnc
