The changes and sources files indeed have to be treated as binary data, 
because each chunk in them is indexed from the image with absolute file 
offsets. They would work equally well with LF as line ending (not CRLF 
because that's 2 bytes), but CRs tend to make more problems on other 
platforms because it is less common. This is a Good Thing, because it 
reminds you of treating them as binary.

However, IMHO, filed-out changesets are text, and we should be smart 
about the line ending there. This can be accomplished by using 
CrLfFileStreams for file-outs and file-ins.
