title: Safe to share a Subversion working copy between OS?
body: <p>I've heard in the past that it's unsafe to share a Subversion working copy between OS.</p>
  
  <p>E.g.:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>copy a working copy from a Windows machine to a Linux machine, and use the Linux build of SVN on it.</li>
  <li>On a Windows machine, access/manipulate an SVN working copy with both Windows binaries and CygWin binaries of SVN. (I might want to do this to use <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/239340/automatically-remove-subversion-unversioned-files#answer-239358">this solution</a> for example).</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>But I haven't heard definitively whether it could cause corruption of the .svn data. It is true that EOL issues could be a problem if <strong>svn:eol-style</strong> is set to <strong>native</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>What's the current status of this issue? Has it changed in more recent releases of SVN? Is it safe provided certain precautions are taken (e.g. not checking out/updating files with <strong>svn:eol-style=native</strong> on both platforms)?</p>
