Provided CRLF would be the internal normal line end form. It is currently not, so the real transformation on commit would be CRLF->LF. Then, when checking out, the reverse transformation would occur, LF->CRLF. Here's where the fun start, what do you think happens if said binary had an embedded LF somewhere to begin with? Do you suggest that monotone should have CRLF as the internal normal line end form? mlh> On a slightly different note, perhaps it would be best mlh> for monotone to store the literal version and only transform mlh> for the purposes of diffing or checksumming/sigs. What about programs on other platforms than your own that choke on your line endings? If it wouldn't be for the differences in standard line end between some platforms, I'd entirely agree with you.
