How does Mercurial handle line endings?
The Windows version of Mercurial does not automatically convert line endings between Windows and Unix styles. All our repositories use Unix line endings. We need a story for Windows, but right now I have no ideas. (How about a pre-commit hook that rejects pushes containing CR with a suitably informative error message? We possibly want to make exceptions for certain types of files (at least binary files of course), but we can tweak the hook as necessary as these crop up. Mercurial 1.0 adds a standard hook for this in the win32text extension that we could use/adapt.
