I hope that is not what was meant, since it mucks with the data much more
than would be necessary otherwise. But I guess we'll have to wait for
clarification on that.

Sorry for misunderstanding. That is good, though, since it simplifies the
problem.

Perfect. So when you checkout the file on Windows, the LF is changed to
CRLF and you have a corrupt file. The corruption might correct itself with
Ben's method (a faint hope) but it will not with your method.

Yes, but if this is the same platform you did the initial commit on, the
text-base would have matched the working copy before the edits. No
conversion on checkout (or update) should mean no conversion on commit,
don't you think?
