Slight problem with conflict resolution

I am testing merge and the interactive callback. This passes four
files that can be used by a graphical merge program. Technically one
of the files in this scenario is just to hold the output. I am
running into what I see as a problem with line endings in these files.
 I talked to Ben on IRC today and he gave me a quick answer but was
not feeling well and had to leave. He had me update the docstrings to
say that the four files are in "Repository-normal" form, meaning they
have LF line endings and contracted keywords (if those features are
being used).

It turns out this is not correct. The "mine file" is of course just
the file in your WC. The problem is suppose you are on Windows. The
base and theirs file will have LF line endings and the mine file will
have CRLF line endings.

OK, most GUI programs can ignore these. The problem is the ones that
I use will tend to copy the line endings when you tell it to copy a
block of code from the theirs file. Now you have a file with mixed
line endings.

We obviously cannot change the "mine file" so I think we need to
change the other two files so that line endings and keywords have been
converted.
