I'm hardly an expert on Mercurial's EOL support, but I may be able to
help. Can you clarify what you mean by "that level"?

Mercurial picks up EOL settings from the mercurial.ini (hgrc) file,
which is loaded from a number of places - installation-level,
system-level, user-level and repository-level. However, the settings
files are not versioned (even the repo-level one) and so will not be
copied around as part of clone operations.

Does that help at all?
Paul.
