AFAIK, bzr does not EOL handling at all. All files are binary on this aspect. For true binary files, I don't know much about how bzr handles them. There is this FAQ: http://bazaar-vcs.org/FAQ#Are binary files handled? which hints that it does basic detecting and handling. >> That I can't help with (Windows-free since 1992), but there are plenty >> of Bazaar Windows users and an active user community in general.

Setting up putty's pageant is easy and resolves the sftp/ssh issue nicely. bzr will detect its presence and use it automatically. > Also, the merits and demerits of the two possible Windows installation > methods (either install Python and all the bzr dependencies manually, > then install bzr using a Python installer; or install the full bundle) > are not clear.

Definitely, the full bundle shall be the recommended on, unless you are an experienced Python user which is familiarized with locating and installing Python libraries. -- Óscar
