I'd have thought the least surprising would be to have the conversion
enabled for text files.  That means you could pull net.venge.monotone
and checkouts would have their text files sanely readable on Windows,
and files checked in on Windows and checkout out on Unix would be
readable.

I guess expectations would be different if you worked entirely on
Windows: then it would make sense to just store binary?
