For a bit of history... when manual_merge was added, the argument was
to explicitly _avoid_ trying to come up with the Ultimate Design For
All Things Content Sensitive.  The argument was that manual merging
was on particular thing one might want (even on files that are
textual!  E.g., if you have a special-purpose merger for some XML
documents).  So manual_merge and line ending conversion should perhaps
be kept orthogonal.
