Re: [PATCH/RFC v2 1/4] Add "core.eolStyle" variable to control end-of-line conversion

One more point, which I'm sure will be inflammatory. After all, it has
nothing to do with anything, but let's look at how svn deals with EOL
issues:

1) A property for whether a file is binary or text
2) A property for the EOL style which applies only to text files:

And Mercurial's plan to deal with it:
