subversion svn sync message meaning

Question

I've tried to create a mirror repository using svnsync.

Everything is working fine but after the sync process is done it is showing below message.

NOTE: Normalized svn:* properties to LF line endings (2 rev-props, 0 node-props).

I've searched about this message and I found nothing(I would say I couldn't understood)

Can anyone explains what does that message means?

This link claims:

Subversion has always documented that properties had to have LF line endings. In 1.6 the server started enforcing it.

although I could not find official docs about it.

Above change caused bug:

svnsync fails when source has ^M in svn:* properties (eol-style).

Bug was fixed in svnsync by automatically changing SVN props EOL to LF:

Fix issue #3404: Normalize line endings in svn:* props during svnsync. Always automatically convert all svn:* properties to LF line ending style, and notify about all normalizations collectively after all else is done.

That means everything is fine in my case. Isn't it? – Lissettelissi

@GangadharJannu Yes, everything is fine, that is expected behavior. – Socialism
