That's of course the safest choise for binary files. But it would 
certainly mess up the text files.
While most windows tools can read LF, they all write CRLF by default, 
some even to automatic conversion (like VC). We would end up having 
files of both types (and files with a mix inside) in the repository. And 
then we get trouble with all the linux tools not able to handle CRLF...

So the convertion is more then just convenience. It's a necessity for 
every project with both windows and linux developers.
