I personally don't care about editors that don't *read* \n properly. The use case I have in mind is editors that read and display everything just fine but don't save things "correctly" then (or need a setting that people can forget). That case is easily handled with eol-style=LF, and that *is* the correct way to handle this in the svn world. Frank -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
