Title:
  Lyx does not preserve DOS/Unix line endings

Status in “lyx” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am working on a lyx document together with people that use Windows.
  Every time I save the document, all line endings get converted to \n
  (LF). Every time someone on Windows saves the document, all line
  endings get converted to \r\n (CR+LF).

  The document is versioned using SVN which now will show every line as
  changed in "svn diff". This is unacceptable when merging changes from
  other people and I always have to use the tool "unix2dos" before
  committing, so that the diffs look reasonable.

  What I expected to happen:
  If opened document uses LF to end lines, save document using LF to end lines.
  If opened document uses CR+LF to end lines, save document using CR+LF to end lines.
  Like most text editors.

  What happened instead:
  LyX converts the line endings to the format "native" to the platform it is running on.

  LyX Version:
  This affects all versions prior to and including LyX 2.0.2.

  Ubuntu Version:
  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
  Release:	12.04
