Neither of the proposed solutions will deliver no newline translation
at all. So, I consider it a choice between the lesser of two evils. ;-)

...which I've personally been guilty of in the past (not with this
project, I don't think, but...)

While I'd *like* to keep Subversion clean of all that newline
conversion jazz, the more I think about trying to actually live life
in those circumstances, the more punished I feel. So, I agree to
throw theoretical purity to the wind, give up hoping that we can all
live in peace and multi-newline-style harmony, and agree to newline
conversion.
