Wouldn't this feature be similar to how Git converts line endings? https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/ https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/ It would probably have to be configured per repo so that it doesn't mess with tab delimited files etc.

Auto CrLf is a terrible thing that can change the meaning of programs. Source control shouldn't be changing the contents of files (though a hook to format wouldn't be bad necessarily).

  Auto CRLF is awesome for languages I use. Which ones can it change meaning in?

    Any language that allows string literals to wrap lines without normalizing it. Like C# or F#. Anything with HERE docs might do it, but Ruby and Python seem to normalize.
