You might want to try setting autocrlf to "input" as that will keep them 
in whatever format they have in the repository.  There are a few files 
in the wxWidgets repo (but on any in Phoenix that I recall) that must 
always be in CRLF mode.  But if you are using a smart editor that can 
handle either style then it doesn't matter too much what format the rest 
of the source files are using.  IIRC, the "input" style also 
intelligently converts newly added text files to LF when they are 
committed the first time.
