Motion heartily seconded!  The line-ending problem has been a big  
pain for my dev team lately.  We've implemented a hack with our  
Currently Very-antiquated Source-control system to help manage this,  
but it's far from optimal.

Beyond Alexander's suggestion, I'd like to see behavior where a  
repository default could be specified, overridable on a per-file  
basis.  E.g. our team defaults to Unix-style line endings, but  
certain versioned config files for tools we use must have the DOS  
line-ending
convention.
