eol handling

[F.R.@.N.K]

This is probably not a direct bug but something I'd like to know if possible or something that should be added.

Bazaar handles lines with a different eol as modified. Technically that is true but practically that is not always good to have (I think).
Can this be turned of so different eols are not detected as modified lines?

There's a plugin I'm working on for that. It still need a generic
feature called 'content filtering' to land in bzr.dev. That's close
now.

Hi Ian,

Very nice! Please update this topic when it is usable so we can test it.
We are having quite some problems now with eol differences.

Ian, what's the status of your plugin, and / or content filtering?

Apologies for the delays here: I've been seriously ill these last few months and aren't likely to get back to this till (early hopefully) next year.

Ouch :-(, sorry to hear that. Hope you get better soon! /J

Closing, AFAIU this went live with bzr 1.14:
