Description
When creating a repository, or creating a new .svn work area, there are README files which Windows users cannot easily double-click to read. These files (and any other similar quick informational files) should be named with a .txt file extension to facilitate easy reading via GUIs, e.g., README.txt. The Windows GUI cannot "associate" a default action for files that have no extension. It's okay with me if this is only for files created by a Windows client, but it's not unheard of to see "README.txt" files on Unixes too. Also, and related, the client should create these README.txt files with the appropriate native newline scheme, preferably regardless of the current or default setting of the newline property. Otherwise, Windows readers get the unreadable single line in NOTEPAD.EXE.
