I've a different opinion: it takes normal text files into account. You know, line of text followed by a line end followed by a line of text followed by a line end... Everything that has been used as argument against that simple principle of what a text file is are really special cases for very special purposes, where some characters have been inserted for layout purposes. I honestly am not really sure if those should be regarded as normal text files or as something as binary as a Word file. But OK, say we do the very simply transformation, using only the second item returned by get_linesep_conv, we still have a much bigger thing to deal with: how to make monotone understand when NOT to do that.
