We've hit this end-of-line problem in the past and found the above to be cumbersome and non-intuitive: by that I mean, we'd have to work it out each time we encountered the problem. What we do is essentially:

o	fromdos the file
o	put an X at the front of everyline.
o	check that in with an appropriate comment (eg phase 1 of ^M removal)
o	remove the X at the front of everyline.
o	check that in with an appropriate comment (eg complete ^M removal)

At least that way, we use bk facilities we're familiar with.
