That's the same approach I used to try to fix. I agree with the false
diff issue. However once everything is 'right' in the repo it should
work.

Why the bzr people did implement it as a postprocess step???
svn:eol-style works *way* better, too bad...

The thing I didn't check is what happen when a win user does a commit.
I hope it does the right thing (i.e. switch the CRLF to whatever the
repo is configured to hold), otherwise it's useless.
