I'm not so sure that this is true - we had to explicitly change our line 
encodings to unix style, because tla kept changing our src code to it 
while checking it out (tla get). We recognized this, because when we 
tried to check in a patch afterwards, the generated patches were huge 
since every line was changed. We also checked the settings of our IDEs 
(Eclipse and IntelliJ) - they were set to the windows encodings, so they 
could'nt/shouldn't be responsible.

After we switched deliberately to the unix style line endings, 
everything worked like a charm.
