Linked from that is:
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/Win32TextExtension
which says:
"The filter specification can however not be managed by the
repository..."
(I'm not clear what is being filtered on, but it looks like it might
be the _content_ of the files.)
The above statement seems like a really odd design choice, with the
potential for causing considerable developer coordination headaches.
Any Mercurial boffins want to talk about how this works in practice?
