line endings

[Patrick Drechsler]

Hi,

the hgbook states that:

,----[ http://hgbook.red-bean.com/hgbookch2.html ]
| Note: The Windows version of Mercurial does not automatically convert
| line endings between Windows and Unix styles. If you want to share
| work with Unix users, you must do a little additional configuration
| work. XXX Flesh this out.
`----

What is the best working practice for this issue?

TIA,

Patrick

PS: I am using the same version of Hg with WindowsXP and GNU/Linux:
