That's easy:
Noone who doesn't use a sane editor gets write access to my repository!

Other things would be nice though, for example if montone would check 
that the files you try to commit have the correct (project specified) 
line endings, with an error message such as:
You idiot! You messed up the line endings! Use an editor that can handle 
Unixy endings. :D
