EOL extension: Migrating from win32text

[Colin Caughie]

Hi Martin,

I have a suggestion for the hgeol extension that I think would help users such as ourselves who are looking to migrate from win32text. What would you think about adding a global option that tells hgeol to simulate win32text behaviour if no .hgeol file is found?

My concern with migrating is that we have a lot of repositories, some with several active branches (and some with branches that we think are dead but which have a habit of unexpectedly coming back to life when a customer finds a problem in an old release). So it would be difficult to ensure that there will always be an .hgeol at the tip of each of these repositories.

I think this option would help to prevent messed up line endings during the transition period. Eventually we'd hope to turn it off once we have .hgeol files everywhere.

What do you think?

Colin
