This is a FAQ. The "problem" is that handling line endings is done on
the client, not the server. So, the general suggestion is: Don't check
out a module on one system and move it over to another.

That is, if you have to work on a Windows (or anything else with CR+LF)
machine, check it out from a Windows machine.  If you have to work on a
Unix (LF) machine, check it out on such a machine.

It is no problem to move the repository around, if you don't go across
the border LF/CR+LF.

HTH,
   Spiro.
