[ANN] EOL conversion support now in bzr.dev

[Ian Clatworthy]

Revision 4233 of bzr.dev now directly supports EOL conversion.
If you are an early adopter interested in this feature, now
is the time to grab the latest copy of bzr.dev, run

  bzr help eol

and test it! Oh, and don't forget to remove the (experimental)
bzr-eol plugin if you have it installed.

Some things to note:

1. We only support the definition of rules globally at the
   moment, rules can't be configured per project or branch yet.
   I'm half way through a patch for this but, realistically,
   this probably won't make the 1.14 cut.

2. Binary file detection is very simplistic at this stage - it
   looks for a null byte in the file. I'd appreciate it if
   someone put a patch up to make it smarter. Any takers?

If you have any problems, please raise bugs and tag them as eol.
Be sure to read the help on content filters (bzr help content-filters)
if you run into a problem as the issue may be a known limitation
of that generic feature.

Thanks to everyone in the community for their ideas, feedback and
assistance in delivering this feature. I hope the wait has been
worthwhile and that our solution meets everyone's needs.

Enjoy,
Ian C.
