trouble cloning among different systems to be expected?

Hi,

just wanted to ask the list before I do experiments on this one:

Will I run into trouble if I do the following:


 1) I have a main repo on a linux server A. (UTF-8)

 2) I clone it using TortoiseHg on a WXP/W2k machine B onto a USB stick.

 3) I synchronize said clone on another linux machine C on the command 
    line from the directly mounted USB stick. (UTF-8)


Do I run into trouble with line endings or charsets in this scenario?


 Preventively I'd replace step 2 by cloning directly on the server A on 
 a then directly mounted USB stick.


Am I too nervous, or is it really not a good idea to mix Linux and Windows 
systems in this case?

Greets,
Marko
