Do you wanna say that after that i apply hgeol settings i must recommit 
all files that are commited in not suitable format for you?
this is devaluate hgeol mean to zero for me - and not only for me, 
because with this commit i loose ability of changes propagation through 
history,
and even is i not need this propagation, i saw ropository with about 
12000 files (most is text) - such commit just duplicate all of them to 
repository.

and even if i can do such commit, what advantages hgeol least vs 
win32text - it is doing the same things, and it is stupid too.
