Support of such configuration file also discussed and I'm agree this file
is needed.

Not so Big pain as you say. Anyway even with .bzrlineendings config you need
internally create attribute for each file: text/binary, if text -- what

need new inventory format. Other stuff anyway should be implemented.

Here I'm not agree: *.py should be LF-only, otherwise shebangs does not works properly
on Linux.
