What line endings do our other windows devs want?
If I do some bits in Windows (which I occasionally do when don't have my Linux machine at hand) I would usually use some IDE (Eclipse, M$) and both handle LF very well and I dare say there are enough good tools to edit source code in Win to handle LF well that it should not be an issue.
I think the key aspect is consistency and so long as we have all files with LF then we should be OK in any env.
While on the issue, did anyone consider using tools like astyle on check-ins to keep the formating more consistent.
I have worked on projects where every developer had their own formatting preferences and settings but all the codebase in source control was in one common standard and this was achieved by on-the-fly transformations.
