I didn't quite follow what you were saying there.  You wrote:  "The premise
here is that if a user ever gets a file that should not have the line
endings it should have (LF for .ac/.am/,sh, CRLF for MS proj), it's game
over."   i.e., "that should not have X it should have".  So I have no
statement regarding that, because the meaning of that sentence is unclear to
me.

But let me address what you followed it with:  I have no INTRINSIC problem
with CRLF staying the same or with it being converted back and forth,
provided it always gets checked out CRLF, and provided I can get my branches
consistent with yours.  If CRLF staying in the repo prevents me from doing
so, then I would oppose it.  Right now, I am not certain it's the cause, but
that was certainly the same time when my trouble began.

Post a link.  The question is where it's appropriate to host the content,
not whether it's appropriate to help.
