How do we know when the '\r\n' is intentional (your example) or
just accidental (windows editor created the file)?
As cvs, and marking sensitive files as binary (or a non-convert text-format)?

Having a single, well-defined, form for the repository (patches, inventory, ..) 
might be a good idea to avoid ambiguities (or let the repository define which
format it is in).

But I do think that the possibility to convert "user-files" should exist.

As a unix user, I wouldn't like '\r':s in source files checked in by windows
users...
