This one would be great, I think!

BTW, I believe that darcs could support line ending conversion better,
than how it is done today. I don't care about the 80s, nor about
whether Windows, or Linux, or anything else got line endings wrong or
right. I don't buy that this issue is _so_ complicated.

If we can do something to make many users' life easier with reasonable
efforts, then why don't we do it? I'm not a Haskell expert, but I
doubt that it would take more than a few lines of code to implement
the above suggestion for example.
