The standard Windows installation wizard creates a Mercurial.ini with win32text
CRLF translations commented out. Since it is likely that many (perhaps most)
Windows developers would want to use CRLF in text files, the Setup wizard should
offer to enable this mode with a checkbox. Otherwise people do not even realize
that such a capability exists in hg, or are not sure how to turn it on.
This is bad not just for the developer installing Hg, as they are liable to
commit new files to the repository with CRLF and thus cause problems for
non-Windows users.
