Workspaces itself platform-independent without an exception.
eol-style will be an issue only when you start committing your files to
repository.
If, say, you CO your files with EOL=LF, and your editor change them all to
CRLF then, even if you didn't changed any meaningful line in file, the file
itself will be considered modified just in case of these added CR's.
