Although this has come up in the past, I don't recall a resolution.

What is your plan to handle svn:eol-style? We have some files in the tree which need that support and it isn't clear to me how that would work with the existing win32text extension provided with current mercurial releases. (I've an outstanding patch to hg which should address some of these issues, but without the 'rules' being versioned I fear that would still fall short.)

Even more generally, how will you suggest Windows users work? Will local files, in general, have windows line endings or unix? If the latter, will there be hooks in-place to prevent editors on Windows 'accidently' mixing eol styles? If so, this cycles back to the first question - how would we know which files get treated that way?

Thanks,

Mark
