I know this. I also use Windows, and use Unix line
endings.

Maybe the current ones you commented are not.
But this may cause many megapatches. Imagine
you correct one word in install.xml and
mistakenly save it with Mac or Win line endings.
Then all the lines are changed, as recognized
by our diff, and you get a 340K patch, instead
of only 2K. This is a problem... And happened
many times in the past...
