there's a full one now.

That's what I meant with radio button :)

maybe we can just add an exception for rc files then?

this we could leave with the on-load check.

this we should definitely not make depending on the on-load state, at least not for ascii/utf8 encodings: if the svn:eol-style is set then a commit for such files will fail if it has inconsistent line endings.

that too can be left dependent on the on-load state.

At least for ASCII/UTF8 encoded files, the dialog should always be shown if the EOLs are inconsistent.

Yes, that's right.
