The only time tla ever touches your files directly is when it searches
for inline tags (and that's read-only).  You've only got diff, patch,
and your fake Unix environment to blame for mysteriously changing end
lines.  (There was a patch for tla to work around this by passing the
--binary option to diff and patch, but it seems it hasn't been included
in recent releases.)
