My small team at work has been using Darcs for about a month, and my main problem has been caused by the lines ending in \r\n being compared to lines ending in \n being flagged as changes. I want us to use the output of "whatsnew" and "change" to be part of our change control documentation, but this problem limits the value of those commands. I know about dos2unix and unix2dos, but I don't want the developers to waste their valuable time converting dozens of (J2EE) files to match what the last person who worked on particular file did. We all use different editors and IDEs and bounce between Linux and Windows which causes this to be a mess. Any suggestions?
I actually like this "feature" and deal with it by using editors that can cope with any/mixed formats. As a result, some of my source documents are quite hybridized where it doesn't matter (web pages) but potential problems are visible where it does (platform-specific configuration files).
This doesn't specifically answer your question, but if the problem can't be solved, hopefully you'll find that it isn't always a showstopper. Unfortunately, I've found that you can't adopt any RCS without establishing some local policies.
