Brief question: is there a mode I can set on my (Windows) PC, which
ensures that Bazaar never modifies anything when checking in or out?
In other words, I see precisely what's in the repository, even if it's
a bizarre mix of line ending types? So essentially, line ending
conversion is a purely local policy, and is never overridden by
anything set on the remote end.
I assume there must be such a mode (as it's the current behaviour) and
I'd like to think that it will be the default. But the recent
discussions have confused me enough that I'd like to be explicit :-)

Unless that's online somewhere, that doesn't help me, as I don't have
a development version of Bazaar installed.
