Most sane Unix editors can cope with windows CR/LF automatically too;
as long as no one is mixing styles in the same file, everyone should be
fine. If the style is mixed up within the same file, even "eol-native"
can not guranty to do the right thing anyway. My suggestion is the
origin author of a file decides which style this file should be, be it
windows or unix or mac, and everybody just follow the convention
within this file.
Having to keep track of which file is ascii and which file is binary
is tedious.
