Oh, I thought that is be done by the line

[eol]
native = LF

If all the users had this line in their conf file (not sure how this
will screw up the editors for the Windows users..) Then I thought the
lineendings would be automatically LF.

I don't have access to that server in the sense that I could add such a
hook or are you suggesting to put in on the clients global .hgrc?

If so, do you have a working example you could share with me?

Thanks
