I couldn't quite parse that sentence.

But.

The rule of thumb is:  only check out onto the machine that your are going
to make changes on.

If you are going to compile/edit on a Windows box, use a windows client.
If you are going to compile/edit on a Unix box, use a Unix client.
If you are going to compile/edit on a Mac, use a Mac client.

Do NOT check out using Windows on to a Samba share, then edit on the Unix
box.

Do NOT check out using Linux onto a Windows share mounted with smbfs and
then edit on the Windows box.

It will cause you no end of grief if you try to mix and match platforms
that have different line-ending policies.

Just don't do it.
