And I kind of like the idea of "forcing" one type of line ending (in this case Unix style). Yes it forces you to convert all your files to Unix line endings, but why would you want mixed line endings anyway? Is there a real use for it?

If you get code drops from another platform - e.g. Win32 - and want to do a 3-way merge to integrate the changes into your Mac-specific codebase, you might run into this all the time. In some cases, this means having to create a copy of read-only source to address the line endings issue just to complete the merge.
