Sorry -- I replied to the author instead of the list. I'm +1; definitely
don't want newline conversion.

I also want to hear the other side of the story -- we've told horror stories
about how newline conversion has burned us personally, and it's obvious how
it can cause problems in binaries -- but there MUST be some reason why
people ask for it. There MUST be some use! Can someone step forward and
give us a horror story of what happened to them when their version control
system failed to translate line endings?
