Ryan answered your questions, but I'd advise against using the eol-style
property if you can. You will likely run into problems at some point,
e.g. when using a Unix client to check out files but then editing them
using a Windows editor, etc.
I think you get fewer headaches in the long run by just getting your
users used to using Unix-style line endings. Most Windows programming
editors can do this; the only real problem comes with new files, on
which those editors may default to CR-LF. But those will be very
obvious the first time someone checks them out on Unix, and are easy to fix.
