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. Stefan |
