Why is that so horrible? That's what we'd do with CVS (or
subversion): fix up the setting (-kb, svn:eol-style, or whatever), and
commit the correct value. Why shouldn't we do the same with monotone?
That means that one revision's broken, and there's a bigger delta than
we might like, but that seems acceptable.
Even better if we spot the problem before syncing, of course, because
monotone permits the revision to be removed. With subversion that's
not really practical.
