In a previous mail

http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/axiom-developer/2006-09/msg00294.html

you suggested:

I've already locally modified the eol-style and was just about to 
commit. The following files and extensions are left with the "native" 
eol-style set.

I believe it is OK if they are left as text files and change the 
line-endings.

In particular, I would like to see it for .pamphlet files. It gives a 
terrible mess if some windows user changes ONE line in a file, commits 
the thing and I run a diff to the previous version and see that ALL 
lines have changed.

The copyright files...
  .AXIOM
  .B
  .BULL
  .CC
  .CCL
  .EAY
  .FSF
  .NOWEB
  .RAND
  .SMC

Some other obvious text files.
I actually don't understand why in the repository is anything else than 
pamphlets. I can understand .fig, .jpg, .png or such files, but not 
.lisp, .tex, .sty, .text, .h. Maybe .booklet is special.

Any reason why there are such non-pamphlets?

  .H1 <-------- I am not sure about that one. Looks like a .h file.
  .booklet
  .h
  .lisp
  .pamphlet
  .patch
  .sty
  .tex
  .text
