eol with hg 1.4.x?

[Greg Ward]

Hi Martin --

it looks to me like hg-eol now requires a "trunk" Mercurial, i.e. the
stable 1.4 branch won't work.  Specifically, mercurial.patch.eolmodes
was added on the default branch, so will only be released in 1.5.
Correct?

Is there a good way to test/use eol with a stable version of
Mercurial?  I'm maintaining my own fork with a few select patches
backported to the stable branch, so if I absolutely *must* I suppose I
could backport the patch.eolmodes changesets.  But I'd rather not.
We're going live with Mercurial 1.4.x in 10 days... am I better off
sticking with win32text for now, and switching to eol in the future?
