I would prefer not to, for two reasons: 1) win32text's filters could/should be configured differently on a per-repo basis. 2) Enabling this feature is a non-trivial step, and I prefer to require people to RTFM and understand what it is exactly that they are enabling. Even with these fixes in hg-1.3, win32text is not exactly a mainstream or even a suggested feature. Most of the hg maintainers think of it as an original sin. I don't want to put the THG stamp of approval on it and give people the wrong impression. I did add the patch.eol setting to the example in our Mercurial.ini so new users are at least aware of the setting. -- Steve Borho ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-discuss mailing list Tortoisehg-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-discuss
