[Dev] lingering SVN binary vs. text problems

[Brendan O'Connor]

One option is to do away with all text conversions -- the windows user turns 
off text conversion on their client, or tag all files as binary. I mean, all 
the good programmer's text editors on windows understand unix line endings, 
so perhaps automatic cr/lf conversions just aren't worth it anymore...

just a thought, Brendan.
