I've no problem going with that.

Now, what happens if you leave it disabled, but someone else asks
monotone to convert between CRLF (native) and LF (internal) for some
files?  I can see scenarios where such disagreements will lead to,
uhm, weird stuff, for example if both of you are on Windows (and
therefore get CRLF as line ending)...

That leads me back to thinking that we still need to mark files that
are getting changed, and that something automatic should happen to
them, so a file will look the same checked out as before it got
checked in.

Cheers,
Richard
