Bother, you're right. I'm most concerned that the common case of
US/European software developers (mostly working with ISO-8859-1 files)
working on Unix and Windows can work sanely, and I think the easiest
way to do that is to have a canonical form of the files stored in the
repository. But you're right that trying to mangle line-endings by
default has a very good chance of screwing up multibyte character set
files, and that's unlikely to be an acceptable default behaviour
nowadays.
