I'd much rather have a pre-record hook that could run any program to
alter the source before it gets recorded. You could set it to a script
that looked at all of your files and did line-ending conversion. Any
other source-code transformation could also be added as a pre-record
hook, without having to alter darcs.

A set of scripts on the darcs wiki for common transformations
(line-ending conversion, indentation normalization, XML tidy, ...)
could handle common use cases.

What do you think?
