I'm trying to roll out darcs to the devel group at my job as well and so far there is only one show-stopper... the "CRLF Problem". The lack of a WinCVS-like GUI is slowing things down and its memory hog tendencies (especially on Windows) is also not winning any fans, but the quantum leap in possibilities is trumping all. Except for the CRLF issue. We have too much development where files are shared between Linux and Windows developers to just mandate one line ending.
What sort of tools/editor are you using that are so sensitive to line endings? Myself, when I'm developing on windows I'm usually using emacs, visual studio or textpad; none of which have issues with line endings. On unix I use emacs or vi and have no problems there either. Have your seen TortoiseDarcs? http://tortoisedarcs.sourceforge.net/
At this point, I run the attached 'darcs2dos' script which converts all non-binary files in pristine and the working tree into DOS format *and* tries to convert the patches as well.
Modifying patches seems like a really, really, really bad idea. Do you know Haskell? Pre-hooks wouldn't be hard to implement if you want to get started on it.
