I'm starting to wonder what the problem really is that makes it so
Python-specific. If I understood correctly, it's about a couple of files which
must be stored using non-Unix line endings, right? (in the PC and PCbuild
directories?)
No. It's about files that must, when checked out on Windows, have CRLF
endings, and, when checked out on Unix, have LF endings - i.e. all the
.py, .c, .h, and .rst files, plus a couple of others which don't require
specific treatment.
IOW, it's about the default behavior, and the majority of new files.
FWIW, I had the same impression as Antoine. I am aware that 'stupid'pad
requires /r/n, but do IDLE and other editors (on Windows) that people
would actually use to create/edit such files? I would personally be
willing to install a notepad replacement if needed to quickview such files.
If essentially all text files need fixed line endings on Windows, then
hg really needs this built in. Has it really not been used much on Windows?
