I think this is related to the line endings issue. As a user, I'd assume
something like this:

* If I don't specify a line ending style or encoding to bzr, I'd expect
  bzr leaving my stuff alone.

* On the other hand, if I explicitly tell bzr that a file should have
  CR/LF line endings and be stored in UTF-8, I'd expect bzr to ensure
  this, even if some **** editor decides to convert all line endings
  to LF and saves the file with latin-1.
