Yes; this does not solve the binary problem completely. In this case
(checking a binary containing an LF in on a CRLF system), the file in
the repository will not be at all corrupt, and simply marking it as
binary would "fix" the problem. Note that the checkin of a file
containing a CRLF *would* be corrupt -- but as I mentioned in a
previous email, this is really an orthogonal issue.
