But in general, avoid it. If you're in a mixed platform environment,
and you are tweaking files back and forth in end-of-line settings when
you check them out in UNIX versis checking them out in Windows, you
are in for a *world* of hurt. This is a source of enormous confusion
for programmers when it works right, on one system, but not on the
other due to local re-writing.
If you're on the UNIX or Linux sides, the "dos2unix" and "unix2dos"
utilities are available with almost every distribution. For Windows,
there are other tools, including the same tools under CygWin.
