OK that's fair enough.

I've certainly seen it cause havoc if some people working on a repo have it 
enabled and others don't. Is this what you mean? I guess that in itself is a 
good reason not to have TortoiseHG make it easy to enable. The last SCM tool we 
used had line ending conversion enabled by default and made it difficult to 
turn off, so that was never a problem.

Perhaps the solution for us would be to create a custom installer for our 
organization that doesn't give the option _not_ to install it; that way there's 
less chance that someone can mess up the repo having different settings from 
everyone else.
