RE: RE: Re: Poll: do we really need newline conversion?

As an additional point: With the EOL conversions, and per-file EOL
styles I could ensure that my data (.dsp files) were correctly
maintained. How does not doing any EOL conversion prevent somebody from
committing a bogusly formatted update?

i.e. You're loosing some data integrity guarantees on text files which
is kind of a bummer.
