Actually, you have found the problem. My particular setup is that Visual Studio is used on Windows. The editor will handle unix end of lines all right, but tends to insert windows ones when modifications are made. This leads to files with inconsistent end of lines, and nightmares with merges. We use Subversion for the moment, and we have to make sure that all text files are declared properly in svn to avoid conflicts. What I begin to realize is that the only possibility probably lies in using a tool that converts the modified files "on the fly" before commits. I just want to make sure that no other solution was found by others facing a similar problem.
