This is of course not acceptable, but apparently it's because some
people develop on Windows and don't use editors that can be set to
automatically adjust to linux - or maybe they're too lazy to do it :) We
have the policy that all scripts should be LF, of course, but rarely
police it - because if we were to automatically update all files in this
regard, the next commit, the whole file would be committed and the diff
would be meaningless. It's much better to approach the developers
individually or just file a bug.
I think filing a bug for this wouldn't be a bad thing. What does
everyone else think?
