Possible cover-all solution: use Mercurial's "eol" extension. It's worked pretty well for me so far, and handily autofixed all the DOS endings in a particular fork I looked at in one go. It works much like the autoprops configuration does in Subversion; hopefully with less pain.
Enable it (should be included by default in all recent versions, dunno about Tortoise) by adding the following section and options to your system-wide or repo-local .hgrc file: [extensions] eol = Then add a ".hgeol" file to the root of the repository (it can be versioned and thus easily distributed!), and fill it with whatever standard Mercurial pattern entries are needed, like so: [patterns] **.py = native **.txt = native **.h = native **.cpp = native **Makefile = LF As soon as this file exists and the extension is active for you, further hg commands will immediately treat any non-conforming line-endings as modifications to your current working copy. Hope this is helpful; if so, it could be added to that page as well.
