[darcs-users] Line endings

It's so _human_ that there are three different line ending standards!  
At least the old Mac OS one is fading into the past...

IIRC, cvs  is supposed to handle this at the client side: the server  
is assumed to use line ending X and each client converts X to the  
local format as necessary (and converts back to X on commit / record).  
This happens for "text" files; "binary" files are ignored.

This solution isn't all that it might be but it is, at least, simple.  
Wouldn't this be something worth doing in darcs?
