While looking at all the hgrc options and thinking about how to deal
with issues brought up about how to handle patches with different line
endings then are native on the system I saw that [merge-tools] has a
boolean setting of fixeol, and [patch] has a eol setting with strict,
crlf, lf as options.

What does fixeol of true attempt to do?

Proposal, add decode to the patch.eol config setting so it will use
the decode filters to normalize the file, and if the particular file
does not fall under a filter it would default to strict
