I think it's no longer true: CR was used on prehistoric Macs (those from eighties); contemporary Macs are quite POSIX'y and have LF as a conventional line-ending marker.
As to imaginable hassles of auto-conversions, I think this is an exaggregation: Subversion and Git do this for ages and there's no apparent complaints about how they do this. In case you're interested, here are explanations on how they do this: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.advanced.props.file-portability.html#svn.advanced.props.special.eol-style http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-config.html (see core.eol, core.safecrlf, core.autocrlf; Git for Windows has core.autocrlf set to true by default). _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
